Clear milestones, assignments on your own business, and regular reviews.
Results
From founders who did the work
I came in with a business idea and a resignation letter ready. I left with a validated offer, my first five customers — and I kept my job for six more months, which was the right call.
The biggest change was moving from hourly billing to packages. Our average deal size more than doubled in a quarter.
Having someone who has failed and bounced back in your corner is different. He doesn't let you hide from the hard decisions.

No. Many participants join to find out whether entrepreneurship is right for them. The program helps you generate and test ideas too.
Is the founder community really free?
Yes. The fortnightly community meetup is a not-for-profit initiative with no charges, open to anyone who believes in the power of togetherness.

For longer programs, instalment options are usually available. Ask during your discovery call.
