Founders Cove 2026 for founders: from the idea to fundraising [P3] Founders Cove 2026 is designed for those moving the first steps in entrepreneurship, from the search for an idea to the first phases of growth and financing.

The format of Startup Geeks then focuses on the period preceding the already structured startup, when it is necessary to validate the project, build the team, find the first customers, and verify the sustainability of the business model. The audience includes both those who are still valuing the launch of a startup and founders who have already collected initial market feedback. The organizers' declared objective is to help every participant identify their phase and make decisions in the immediate future through training, comparison, and opportunities to relate with other entrepreneurs.

Ideation, validation, go-to-market, and fundraising. The program of Founders Cove follows four phases of the entrepreneurial experience: ideation, validation, and building the team, go-to-market, and fundraising. On stage interventions will be accompanied by moments of comparison and activities dedicated to applying the content to the projects of participants.

The first day will mainly focus on the phase encompassing the idea and validation, with content on finding a market problem, choosing a co-founder, the first tests, and the realization of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The second day will concentrate on the following phases, from product-market fit to pricing, distribution, organizational management, and capital collection.
