Frequently asked questions

Who is it for?
Founders, startup leaders and product managers.
How will the program run?
8 weeks, 8 topics. Weekly 2 hr interactive sessions for concept learning and another 2 hr for problem-solving and personalized feedback sessions.
When and where are live sessions held?

Twice a week, 10-12 AM IST, on Zoom Call.

How is this different from an accelerator program?
Accelerators are the right solution for some startups, but often lack the expert resources for personalized attention. We don't ask for any equity or revenue sharing. 
Will I have access to the recording of the sessions if I am not able to attend?

Yes. Recordings will be available for all of the live training sessions. We've designed our sessions to be participatory and interactive so we will recommend attending the training sessions to get the best out of them.

Can I join with my co-founder or any team member?

Yes.
