This session explores how innovators leverage AI to accelerate idea validation, uncover market gaps, and chart viable routes to market.
About this Event

Even the most promising ideas can struggle without early and effective validation. This session explores how AI tools are accelerating critical early-stage decisions—from identifying competitors and uncovering market gaps to sizing opportunities and mapping clearer paths to commercialization. Whether you’re developing a new product, spinning out a venture, or shaping a go-to-market strategy, learn how innovators are using AI to reduce guesswork, sharpen their value proposition, and uncover insights that guide smarter early moves.

Join us for an interactive session led by Fadi Hindi, innovation expert and founder of The Consulting Lab, a boutique RTP-based firm helping businesses, startups, and professionals thrive in the AI and digital era through strategic guidance, executive coaching, and people-centered innovation.

Enjoy a complimentary Meantime coffee during the event and stay after the session for networking in the café with fresh Brandwein’s bagels, courtesy of Innovate Carolina. It’s an opportunity to continue the conversation, exchange ideas, and make new connections.

This event is part of Innovate Carolina Junction’s monthly AI series, held on the first Tuesday of every month. The seven-part series explores how AI is transforming the pathways from discovery to impact — across research, validation, fundraising, customer strategy, operations, workforce transformation, and venture investment.
