The Bootstrapped Startup Idea Playbook with Charlie Ward @Brainstation

Ascend is joining forces with BrainStation & Charlie Ward, Founder of Ramen Space, for an evening of learning and networking!
Agenda:
Workshop (1 hour) — Charlie walks you through a practical playbook for finding and validating bootstrapped startup ideas
Networking — Stick around to meet fellow builders, bounce ideas, and keep the conversation going
You'll walk away with:
🍜 Proven Frameworks - a step-by-step system to go from "I have no idea" to a shortlist of validated opportunities you can actually execute.
🔍 Research superpowers - how to use Google Trends, Ahrefs, Exploding Topics, and app store data to map competitors and spot rising demand
🧭 Founder-market fit - why the best ideas start with your skills, your obsessions, and your unfair advantage
📚 Real case studies - how a group of successful founders each found bootstrapped success using different playbook strategies.
