Goal: Accelerating Your Success
If you are reading this, it means you already have a great idea with some traction – congratulations!
Now comes the hard part – growth. To grow your idea into a business, and eventually a unicorn, you will have to overcome numerous obstacles and fears.
This program is NOT a course in entrepreneurial theory – it is a practical, hands-on workshop to help you fine-tune your strategy and drive traction to get you funded ultimately.
We will cover every aspect of how you present yourself and your company, from how you explain your business to a random stranger to how you market yourself to investors. Everything we teach is tried, true, and based on 15+ years of entrepreneurial experience to win sales and drive investment.
