What you'll learn

Find product opportunities AI makes possible

Learn how to spot emerging problems, underserved workflows, and markets where AI creates new demand.

Evaluate whether an idea has real growth potential

Use a practical framework to assess pain, willingness to pay, distribution and defensibility before you build.

Identify your distribution wedge before building the product

Figure out how your first customers will actually discover, adopt, and share what you’re building.

Test demand without spending months building

Learn how to validate ideas through conversations, landing pages, prototypes, pre-sales, and lightweight experiments.

Build an MVP around the smallest valuable workflow

Separate the core customer outcome from features that can wait.

Why this topic matters

AI has made it dramatically easier to build software but that also means more competition, faster copycats, and shorter product lifecycles. The advantage is shifting from simply being able to build to knowing what to build, who it’s for, and how it will grow. This session gives you a practical way to identify opportunities with real demand, validate them quickly, and build around durable advantages like distribution and customer relationships.

Built subscriptions at Canva | Ex-Shopify | Founder, GrowthPad

I’m a product and growth leader who has spent my career building and scaling subscription businesses.

At Canva, I led subscription growth initiatives as the company scaled past $3B in ARR, working across pricing, packaging, retention, payments, and monetization. Before that, I worked at Shopify and have advised companies including Jotform on growth.

Today, I’m the founder of GrowthPad, where I work with growth leaders and operators to turn messy growth problems into clear, repeatable systems.

My workshops are built around practical frameworks, real company examples, and the lessons I wish I had when making these decisions inside high-growth companies.
