There is more to startups than building a cool product and raising a bunch of money. The unsexy side of a sustainable startup, such as customer research, company structure, and cap table management, are often overlooked but extremely important to a startups success.
This is why we’ve curated over 40+ influential startup experts, with a variety of expertise, to coach our community of first-time founders so that they avoid costly mistakes and increase their chances of startup success.
Today, we are super excited to announce the new coaches and partners training, inspiring, and supporting our fourth cohort!
