After a morning of deep dives into problem, solution and market validation, founders came together for a reflection session with the validation experts.

The afternoon moved into curated 1:1 conversations with experienced founders and the Deshpande Startups team.

[Deshpande Startups™ @DFstartups]

Three tables. Three experienced founders. One goal: sharper validation.

At the YUVA Validate Clinic Day, student founders put their problem, solution and market assumptions to the test through focused conversations with Ramesh Kulkarni, Manjunath Gogi and Maboof Mulla.
