Milestone 3: Participate in Workshops and Mentor Check-Ins
Four weekly workshops and mentor check-ins
All teams are encouraged to participate in the four weekly workshops offered during the program.
Mastering competitive analysis
Can you master competitive analysis in only two hours? Nope, but we can show you how to get started and make sure you don’t miss competitors that will seem obvious later on. In this session, you will learn how to identify competitive and alternative products and services in order to refine your offering and define your target customer.
Initial interview learnings and next steps
This session will help you reflect back on your first few weeks of customer discovery and iterate on your strategy for the rest of the program.
Telling compelling stories
As startup founders, you will constantly have to tell the story of your venture. Learn some of the key elements behind building a good story and work on your particular story.
Ecosystem resources and pitch practice
Get a final chance to practice your storytelling skills and receive feedback on your deck before the final pitches.
