6 WEEKS · VIRTUAL · NO COST, NO EQUITY

Idea to Launch

For LA founders at the very beginning — an idea, maybe a prototype, no map yet. Over six weeks you'll validate the idea, learn who your customer actually is, and get to a working product or service. Six weekly live sessions, self-directed work in between, and a room full of people building at the same stage.

Who it’s for.
