Most aspiring founders spend years knowing how to analyze a case study — but not how to actually start a company. That's not your fault. It's the curriculum.
Startup Week is designed to give you the one thing the traditional path doesn't: a structured path from "I have an idea" to "I have a real business with real customers" — in 3 evenings.
You don't need to know how to code. You don't need a co-founder. You don't need money. You need the frameworks, the AI tools, and the mentorship to move fast and learn faster.
Every evening of Startup Week has a clear objective, a set of deliverables, and a mentor check-in. You'll never wonder what you're supposed to be doing — the path is laid out for you.
These aren't lectures. They're frameworks you'll apply in real-time — on your actual business — during the week.
How to pick a specific niche and build a detailed persona of your target customer — the foundation that makes everything else easier.
How to get proximity to real users, run a discovery conversation, and extract signal that actually shapes your product.
How to build a working proof of concept in hours using AI tools — no dev team, no technical background required.
The core founder operating system: get feedback fast, validate your assumptions, upgrade your concept, repeat.
How to map out your first acquisition channel and craft a message that reaches your target customer where they already are.
At the end of Startup Week, you'll pitch your MVP at Demo Day. A panel of mentors and judges will evaluate your progress — not your idea, but your ability to execute and learn fast.
The top performers earn a spot in the 30-Day Validation Sprint — a free, intensive program where you'll spend a full month going from MVP to paying customers.
Even if you don't earn a Sprint spot on your first try, you'll walk away with a validated business hypothesis, a live MVP, and a network of fellow builders you'll keep for life.
