About This Event

A First-Principles Workshop for Founders, CEOs, CPOs & Investors

You have a product. You have early traction, a team and capital behind you.

Now the questions become harder and more consequential:

How do you breakthrough in a crowded market and discover your 10x opportunity?

Your answer determines the next financing round, growth rate, and ultimately the exit.

Instinctive responses: ship more features, copy competitors, bolt on AI, expand GTM, or optimize the existing roadmap, rarely produce the desired transformative growth.

Top tech founders and CEOs advise us to "go back to first principles".

Yet, no one really shows how to do it for real.

PrincipiumX has pioneered PX Thinking, a practical first-principles method for rapidly gaining strategic clarity around complex business decisions.

Join us for an interactive breakfast workshop where we will introduce PX Thinking and its two movements – Reversion and Genesis, through a real business case tackling some of the toughest challenges faced by founders, such as:

  1. How to build a moat?

  2. How to discover 10x opportunities?

  3. How to win like David when competing against a Goliath?

WHAT WE'LL WORK THROUGH

Using a real business case, we'll demonstrate how to move from surface-level assumptions to deeper strategic opportunities.

  1. PX Reversion

    1. Principles Discovery
      Uncover the enduring principles underneath customer behavior beyond what customers explicitly ask for.

    2. Essence Discovery
      Identify the deeper, often unspoken need that every successful product must capture.

  2. PX Genesis Product & Business Reimagination
    Translate those insights into potential 10x moves:

    1. genuine product differentiation,

    2. sharper market positioning,

    3. defensible pricing,

    4. higher ACV customers

    5. new paths to durable growth

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Seed, Series A/B founders, CEOs, CPOs, investors, and operating partners: anyone accountable for the outcomes that define success: growth rate, revenue, valuation, and exit potential for their ventures and portfolios.

Space is limited to preserve the workshop's interactive quality. RSVP early to secure your spot.

WHY ATTEND

PX Thinking works no matter what you're building: AI, fintech, media, supply chain, or beyond. We'll run it live on a real case, then hand you the same method to apply to your own startup.

Before another week of building and GTM, give one morning to get your essence and principles right. Because, clarity isn't the opposite of speed. It's what makes speed worth anything.
