Our Founder Build Lab Series is powered by ‘Grow with Google’ curriculum

Have a business idea—or already running a business—but aren’t completely sure you’re solving the right problem?

Join Startup Redding for Design Thinking for Entrepreneurs, a hands-on Lunch & Learn designed to help founders move beyond assumptions and build around what customers actually need.

Using Google’s five-step Design Thinking process, you’ll learn how to better understand your customer, identify the problem worth solving, generate possible solutions, and begin testing those ideas before investing significant time or money into building them.

You’ll work through the process of Empathize → Define → Ideate → Prototype → Test, including exercises you can apply directly to your own business or idea.

This isn’t just a presentation to watch. Come prepared to work on your business. You’ll identify a specific customer, explore the challenges they face, develop a clear problem statement, brainstorm potential solutions, and begin thinking about the simplest version you could test in the real world.

Whether you’re still exploring an idea or looking for a better way to serve customers in an existing business, you’ll leave with a practical framework you can continue using as your business grows.

The Founder Build Lab Series isn’t another workshop series where you sit, listen and leave with a page of notes. Each month, Startup Redding brings founders together for a facilitated Grow with Google Lunch & Learn focused on one practical area of building a stronger business.
