about the idea validation track
The Idea Validation Track is designed to provide the structure, guidance, and network founders need to successfully navigate the windy path of starting a new business.

Instead of getting stuck, making mistakes, or wasting time and money, founders join this track to shorten their journey from 0 to 1.

This is our most popular track, and fellows with a Tracks Membership or Coaching Membership are encouraged to join.
