Launching fall 2023
Turn your great idea into a business plan in three months
The playbook for founding a business is different in 2023. In three months, we’ll teach you the smart way to build a company today – from using capital efficiently to incorporating AI into your strategy.
You'll walk away with:
A rock-solid business plan (strong enough to apply to Y-Combinator, if you choose)
The start of a website or pitch deck
A network you can actually use, not just connect with on LinkedIn
You’ll learn to avoid common mistakes like:
Spending money on sales and marketing before you have real product-market fit
Picking the wrong co-founders and early team hires
Selling more product with bad unit economics
Join us for an exhilarating three months, and walk away with a plan you can use immediately
What you'll learn
Module 1: Explore and understand your customers’ needs
Don’t launch a solution in search of a problem. We’ll teach you to research your customer to build a product they really want.
Module 2: Size your addressable market
Is this a billion-dollar category, or a slow-and-steady small business? Learn to evaluate your TAM to set expectations for growth.
Module 3: Map the competitor landscape
Your competitor might be the shop down the road – or it might be something less tangible, like inaction or stress. Learn to assess your competitors so you can beat them.
Module 4: Build and pressure-test your business model
Building a business in 2023 is all about capital efficiency. We’ll teach you to create a smart business model and optimize your burn rate for sustainability.
Module 5: Define an MVP (minimum viable product)
Build a product with enough features to validate your idea – without over-investing.
Module 6: Chart your financing journey
Do you need investors or a bank loan? Learn to understand your financing options and how to manage investors (if you need them at all).
Module 7: Map your 30-60-90 day implementation plan
We won’t let you leave without a clear plan for what to do next. Map a three-month course for your business using Notion AI, and get feedback from experts who have been there.
Module 8: Build a pitch deck or website
Selling your idea is half the battle. Learn to build a scrappy deck or landing page to attract your first investors or customers, using tools like copy.ai.
