First (Product) Bootcamp for the First-Time Founders
Being first takes a lot of courage, and we salute you for taking this first step towards your new business. For the rest of this journey, we are here to support you. Developing a product can be made easy if you have a community of experts helping you succeed.
Check out the programs and let's build!
Being first generation
We support diversity. Tech Bros breeding Tech Bros is not what we are here for.
Being FIRST matters. Women, people of color, queer communities all need more courage and resources to be the first in their generation to start a business. Moreover a tech business. We support your bravery with the best education & support system to help you succeed.
What we offer
We have developed tailored programs to guide you through the development stages of your idea. Just show up and bring your courage with you! We will help you build an MVP, that you can use to bootstrap or get venture capital, start acquiring users, collect data to make better decisions, set up the metrics to measure success, build a team, and have a roadmap to move forward. You will be able to save money too.
current projects
We are currently looking to launch the first two pilot cohorts.
a) First-time founders with no previous tech experience and just a use case or idea.
b) The founders, who already have a product (MVP, or more) and want to improve and grow their businesses with an improved product, better processes, and deeper knowledge of the users.
Top Reasons to Choose the bootcamp
We understand the struggle of being the first in your environment to want to build a business. Where do you start? Most incubators offer some degree of education in their programs, but they lack the focus on the most important bit: the product. Your business is your product and we welcome everyone with a business idea in mind: even if you went through an incubator/ accelerator or other programs before - we will teach you product thinking like no one else before, support developing your idea, hands-on, and deliver real results.
We won't replace a CTO or CPO, but we will help you buy some time, prepare for a better co-founders collaboration, and still have a running business while you are on the search for the best fit.
You will graduate with an MVP and a set of tools for better decision-making. Promised!
