Building the wrong thing is what sinks most startups, not lack of funding.

At a recent lunch & learn, NextCorps Entrepreneur-in-Residence Zoe Koulouris shared practical advice for founders on how to align product strategy with the right stage, use discovery to validate ideas early, and make smarter build-versus-buy decisions.

Her core message: strong products sit at the intersection of customer, business, and technology—and the best teams focus on outcomes like adoption, retention, revenue, and satisfaction, not just features.

Thanks, Zoe, for a thoughtful conversation and concrete takeaways for startup teams.
