Down to Earth Product Workshops

Our mission at Different Futures is to empower founders of climate and sustainability startups to design and develop products that are not just innovative but essential for a sustainable future. We're now offering bespoke, practical, outcome-oriented product workshops for founders of climate-positive startups specifically crafted around the challenges you face as founders to help you maximise your startup's chances for success.

Workshops for climate founders

Our workshops are designed to de-risk your startup journey by focusing on validating the desirability, viability, and feasibility of your products. We'll specifically craft a workshop tailored to your needs right now - packed with expert guidance and problem solving around product design, development and strategy. With our help, you can:

  • Gain Confidence in Your Problem-Solution Fit: Before you can find Product-Market Fit you need to be confident the solution(s) you're working on are the right approach to the problem you're trying to solve.

  • Test Assumptions: Learn how to test and refine your product ideas and eliminate risks to ensure you're aligned with customer and market needs.

  • Solve Customer Problems: Develop strategies for using customer development and user research techniques to gain actionable insights that address specific challenges or pain points your customers are facing and form a deep understanding of customer needs.

  • Design and Prototype: Plan and prioritise features for your MVP, and learn techniques for creating effective prototypes or pilots and iterating with new learnings in order to design a compelling, user-friendly product.

  • Any other product problem: What else is your startup struggling with right now? What's keeping you up at night? Let's workshop it and find a path forward.

Who should attend?

Our workshops are ideal for founders of pre-seed ClimateTech startups that have software or software-enabled hardware products who are passionate about contributing to a net zero, regenerative, or circular economy. They're particularly beneficial if you are transitioning from a venture builder or accelerator program and looking for specialised product development support (though not a prerequisite!). Our interactive workshops get founding teams thinking about product development with a fresh perspective. You'll leave with practical next steps, a set of product design and development tools and techniques, and the confidence to implement these practices every day to kickstart your growth journey.Fill in the form below to register your interest and we'll get in touch to book a short discovery call. Work with our first cohort of startups will start Summer 2024.
