Frequently Asked Questions

The program is best suited for entrepreneurs at the pre-ideation or early thesis-building stage. The idea is to identify individuals flexible enough to benefit from our co-building approach.

While some in-person sessions may be required, much of the program can be conducted remotely. We understand the importance of flexibility for entrepreneurs and strive to accommodate different working arrangements.

The program is structured into several key phases over six months. Starting with Thesis Sprint (3 months), where we work with EIRs to validate their ideas through deep-dives/strategy sessions. Next is Design Sprint (Months 4-6), focusing on building the venture's core team, testing the initial concept with early adopters, and preparing for a Demo Day where startups present to a network of investors and industry partners.
