After the Idea: 10 Week Program

After the Idea: What Comes Next? 🤔

A free workshop series for Portland founders.

You have the idea. Now what? 💡

After the Idea is a free ten-session workshop series at Upstart Collective, designed for founders at any stage of their idea, from napkin to early traction.

Each session addresses a real problem that founders face, in the order they encounter it: from communicating what you're building, to building operations that run without you, to measuring what's actually working. Marketing systems is the framework, and business architecture is the point.

• Every other Wednesday, 2 to 3 PM.
• Drop in any time — each session stands alone. You don’t need to have attended previous sessions to gain immediate value. A founder who attends all ten will leave with a complete operating system for building something that lasts.

Session Schedule 📅:

• Aug 5 · What Now? (Series intro)
• Aug 19 · Did You Solve A Problem Or Invent One?
• Sep 2 · They Loved The Idea. So Why Didn't They Want It?
• Sep 16 · Nobody Discovers You By Accident.
• Sep 30 · Traction Doesn’t Just Die. It Leaks.
