About this course

An early product idea is easier to discuss when potential users can react to something concrete. Jonathan Sadler connects startup discovery and validation with prototypes, customer personas, user stories and a minimum viable product.

Short lessons introduce customer discovery, validation, creation and company building through the instructor’s Think, Test, Execute, Learn approach. A substantially longer demonstration shows an interactive app prototype in Figma, and the syllabus lists a downloadable Figma file.

Skills you’ll gain

  • Connecting customer questions with prototypes
  • Recognizing MVP assumptions
  • Using personas and user stories
  • Understanding an app-prototype workflow

The course is suitable for people considering a business idea or bringing some prior experience. About 44 minutes of the listed hour comes from the prototyping demonstration, so the startup concepts are brief introductions rather than a complete business-building curriculum.

Watching the lessons is free, but outside design tools, advertising and promotion have their own access conditions and costs. Simple sketches can support initial idea discussions without purchasing software. The source’s language about success and profit is not a verified outcome; testing an idea is a way to learn, not a guarantee that customers will buy it.
