How to Get Your First 10 Customers Without a Marketing Team or Budget
2026-05-04 08:30 - 10:30 | Online event
You have an idea. But no customers yet, and no budget to go get them. Here’s the truth: the founders who get their first 10 customers fastest don’t outspend everyone else. They out-think them. They find the right people, say the right thing, and convert conversations into commitments. Jonathan Greechan, Co-Founder and CEO of the Founder Institute, has helped thousands of founders crack this exact problem. In this session, he’ll share what actually works at zero before you have a team, a brand, or a runway. Register now and come ready to take notes.
❯ What You’ll Learn:

A step-by-step framework to find your first customers in places you’re already overlooked;
How to write a three-sentence outreach message that doesn’t read like a sales pitch;
What a “validation sale” is and how to use it to de-risk your idea before building more;

Which AI tools cut your customer discovery time in half without sacrificing quality.
