Foundations
Start here — what startups are and how they work
Understand the startup world from the ground up: what startups are, how they differ from regular businesses, the stages of growth, and the mental models every founder needs before writing a single line of code.
Product & Validation
Build the right thing before building it right
Learn how to discover real customer problems, build an MVP, measure what matters, and iterate toward product-market fit. Covers Jobs to Be Done, design thinking, prioritization frameworks, and more.
Finance & Metrics
The numbers every founder must understand
Master startup financial fundamentals: burn rate, runway, ARR, MRR, unit economics, gross margin, and the metrics that determine your fundraising readiness and long-term viability.
Fundraising
How to raise money from angels and VCs
From your first angel check to a Series A: understand how venture capital works, how to pitch, read a term sheet, build your data room, and close a round without getting diluted.
Growth & Go-to-Market
Acquire customers and build a growth engine
Build a repeatable go-to-market strategy: identify your ICP, choose your channels, set pricing, run growth experiments, and build the sales motion that takes you from first customer to $1M ARR.
Team & Culture
Hire, lead, and build a great founding team
Learn how to find a co-founder, make your first hires, structure equity, set OKRs, manage remote teams, and build a culture that attracts and retains the people who will determine your outcome.
