Introducing Startup Bootcamp
Kickoff your startup journey with our 6-week, in-person bootcamp. We’ll guide you through the essentials—customer discovery, market sizing, defining your ICP and more. You’ll participate in 11 workshops led by our Growth Coaches and subject matter experts, enjoy ‘Founder Lunches’ with local tech founders and engage in roundtable chats with peers. The bootcamp wraps up with pitch practice sessions where you’ll get real-time feedback to refine your pitch.
By the end, you'll have a solid plan, pinpointed gaps and the tools to make it all happen.
All you need is a proposed solution, we’ll help with the rest!
Applications open till September 27 @ 11:59 p.m.
