🚀 From Prototype to Proof: Finding Real Traction Before You Feel Ready

Building a prototype is just the beginning! The real challenge lies in determining whether you’re addressing a problem that resonates with people—and knowing what signals to trust throughout your journey.

Join us for an insightful evening with Gabriel Leoni, founder of Wallrise and member of Humanmade’s 2025 Accelerator cohort, alongside Christopher Williams, startup advisor and commercialization mentor. They will share two valuable perspectives on discovering traction in the early phases of your entrepreneurial venture.

Through genuine startup experiences and practical lessons from their work with founders, we’ll delve into how customer conversations, pilot users, early validation, and thoughtful iteration can help you gain momentum long before your product is complete.

Whether you're developing your first prototype or gearing up for the next growth phase, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of what meaningful traction looks like—and how to cultivate more of it.

🕒 Doors open at 4:30 PM for networking with fellow founders, builders, and members of the Humanmade community. Presentations kick off at 5:00 PM, followed by additional time to connect and continue the dialogue until 7:00 PM.
