That's still progress. The goal of running these validation experiments is to learn, not to guarantee success. If your test shows that people aren’t interested, that’s still a valuable outcome. It means you can stop spending time on something that won’t work and focus on your next idea.

You would have run two validation experiments that provided sufficient insight into whether your startup idea is worth pursuing full-time.

If you’re already working on your startup full-time, the proof from the experiments should ideally have unblocked any challenges you faced and allow you to work on the next step in your startup.

Attendance is optional, and all sessions will be recorded for those who can’t join live.

That said, we strongly recommend attending if you can. Founders consistently tell us these sessions are one of the most valuable parts of the program. You’ll get real-time feedback from experienced founders and learn just as much from others’ challenges as your own.

We also understand that time zones and other commitments can make live attendance difficult — so no pressure. You can also submit questions in advance if you can't attend live. Join when you can, and catch up when you can’t.

The program is entirely remote. The lessons are available online and we’ll conduct weekly live group office hours over Zoom.

The 6 week program runs from 15 September to 24 October 2025. Each week, you’ll be expected to watch short videos and complete tasks to hit your milestones. While we encourage you to join the group office hours to get feedback and connect with other participants, they’re optional. Office hour sessions will be recorded so you can catch up anytime, no matter where you are in the world.

This program is for early-stage ideas that are solving a real, specific problem, even if you haven’t proven it yet.

You don’t need a product, traction, or users. But you should have a well-defined problem you care about solving, and the drive to test whether your solution actually works.

If you're serious about your idea and ready to find out if it actually resonates with your target audience, this program is for you.

No, you do not need to be a full-time founder to commit to this program, and you do not need to quit your job to attend the program. You do however have to be available for the duration of the 6 week program.

You can apply solo or with co-founders, as long as you have an idea.

Anyone with a startup idea is welcome to apply, no matter where you are in the world. This program support founders from all backgrounds and locations.

This program is designed for founders with clear, early-stage ideas that address a real problem. If you want to quickly test your assumptions, learn through real-world experiments, and develop a repeatable process for gathering user feedback and insights, this program is a great fit.

No, the program and our investment are the same thing. We do not make investments without acceptance into the program.

We believe our program, not the funds, is the most valuable part of a founder’s journey. Participating in this program will do more for the long-term success of your startup than our investment.
