Startup Next is an intensive five-week program that gives your team the tools and mentorship needed to navigate the early stages of building a startup. Startups accepted into the program will attend a 3-hour session once a week for five weeks. Through a structured approach of group discussions, mentor sessions and pre-work deliverables, teams walk away with the skills needed to validate their business ideas, a customer development strategy, a completed market and competitive analysis, a minimum viable product (MVP), and an investor-ready pitch deck.

Sessions 1 & 2 - Customer Development

Session 3 - MVPs & Metrics that Matter

Session 4 - Product-Market Fit

Session 5 - Fundability & Profitability

These sessions will help teams understand the customer’s core problem, find a value proposition, size the market, and analyze competitors. Following the program, Startup Next teams that have demonstrated their readiness and progress will have access to a number of value-added resources from the Startup Next global team. Show less
