Workshops — Builder to Product Mindset

The workshops are designed to help developers translate what they’ve learned into product thinking and early startup execution.

There are no wrong answers. Submissions are evaluated based on clarity, reasoning, and how well participants connect technical understanding with product and ecosystem thinking. The workshops are designed to develop founder mindset and practical judgment, not to filter out ideas or enforce rigid standards.

Beginner Workshop: Solana Product Concept Deck

Participants in the Beginner track will prepare a Solana Product Concept Deck (approximately 5 pages) that outlines a product idea they would like to build on Solana. This workshop focuses on clarity of thinking rather than execution, helping developers articulate the problem they want to solve, the solution they envision, and why Solana is the right platform.

Problem & opportunity · Product concept · Target users · Why Solana · Next steps
Advanced Workshop: Solana Product Launch Deck

Participants in the Advanced track will prepare a Solana Product Launch Deck (approximately 10 pages) that presents a product they aim to launch and grow within the Solana ecosystem. This workshop emphasizes product strategy, market understanding, and execution planning alongside technical considerations.

Market opportunity · Product vision · User journey · Competitive landscape · Go-to-market strategy · Technical architecture · Roadmap & execution plan
