Z1 Principle

4H > Solo

No one person can hack, hustle, market, and research. This week we learn to trust each other’s lanes — and when to cross them.

Weekly Challenge

The Persona Slam

Each Hound presents their top user persona to all teams. For PH-focused products, personas must include socioeconomic context, digital behavior patterns, and payment preferences. Teams vote on the most vivid, research-backed persona.

Success: Present persona with research backing.
