Office hours replay: the rapid prototyping shortcut 🚀

Stop overbuilding — learn how rapid prototyping helps you test ideas faster, cheaper, and with way less regret.

Hey friends 👋

Every Friday at noon Pacific, I go live on Substack to answer your questions and talk startups.

Last Friday, I dove into rapid prototyping — one of the most underutilized but high-impact tools in a founder’s arsenal.

I broke down:

  • What rapid prototyping actually is (and what it’s not)

  • When to use it — whether validating an idea or iterating on an existing product

  • How to run effective prototypes that save time, money, and effort while maximizing learning

If you’ve ever been stuck in the loop of overbuilding before testing, consider this an intervention. Prototyping isn’t just about moving fast—it’s about moving in the right direction.

Join me Fridays at noon PST for live office hours in the Substack app.
