Sunrise Sessions
In the early days, building a great product feels like the whole game - but how do you turn that product into revenue? This meetup is all about bridging the gap between product development and generating those first crucial dollars. Led by Airwallex’s Head of Product, this session will dive into the practical, tactical steps founders can take to make their product profitable from day one. We’ll explore key questions like: How can you focus on product while still keeping an eye on revenue? What are the smartest ways to generate your first dollar from your product? And how can you balance building with selling, even in the earliest stages? This isn’t a one-way conversation. Come ready to ask questions, share your challenges, and swap stories with fellow founders. The answers won’t just come from the facilitator - they’ll come from the collective wisdom in the room. You’ll leave with actionable insights from real-world experiences that will help you start turning your product into profit. Proudly supported by our pals at Airwallex
