Hi there,

Over the past week, we’ve been diving deep into the tools and strategies we use at Builders Studio to help founders navigate their startup journey. Today, I’m excited to wrap up this first week of the series by giving you a quick summary of what we’ve covered - and an opportunity to access all the past and future resources in one database.

Here’s a recap of what we’ve shared:

🔗 Problem Space Playbook

Understanding the problem in its full context is key. We introduced our approach to mapping the entire problem space - considering all stakeholders, pain points, and alternatives—to get the clearest picture of the challenge.

🔗 Problem 1-Pager Template

This template brings structure to problem research, helping you link jobs-to-be-done with stakeholders, rank the most urgent problems, and surface what we call the ‘Hair on Fire’ problem.

🔗 User Journey Playbook

Beyond just mapping the problem space, we added the user’s experience and POV. By examining the ‘as-is’ user journey, we start imagining better solutions that go beyond optimising current experiences.

🔗 Assumptions Canvas

A practical tool for identifying key assumptions about your business idea and testing them systematically before building.

🔗 Cold Outreach Template

My personal, go-to template for effective cold outreach - a simple yet powerful way to connect with the right people.

Keep an eye on my LinkedIn, and I will share more give-aways next week!

We have collected all of these resources (and will be adding future ones) in one location for your convenience: The Founder Vault. Bookmark it. Keep an eye on it. Enjoy it!

I’m happy to chat if you have any questions or if something sparks an idea.
