Only 20 Weeks to Launch a New Venture.
To make the most of our time together, we’ll do some pre-work to help refine your idea. We’ll do challenge framing, help you develop a stakeholder map to understand “who matters most,” and begin recruiting customers to interview day one.
We’ll also identify and onboard your New Venture Board members who will serve as your advisors and internal venture capitalists.
