You are stronger as a Group than individually
Customer Development and Mentor Dating

  You are going to meet lots of people at the beginning of this program.

You will be crunched on time and feel like you’re not getting enough done.

    Your goal is to identify the lead mentors that you will have a close
                relationship with throughout this program.
Execution

At this stage you will have a pretty good idea of what you’re working on.

                       Getting a lot of stuff done!
Funding Strategy

            Where you plan to be.

         How much you need to raise.

Planning your trajectory outside of the program.
Mentors are the magic
        of this program!
We Leverage the knowledge and expertise of Mentors to help YOU get to the next level.

                        They are volunteers and are not paid.

                             They are here to help YOU.

                      They do not have to be here or help YOU.

              It is up to YOU to excite and encourage them to help YOU.




        YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW, FIND OUT WHAT THEY KNOW
Mentor Survival Guide
Finding the right Mentor and engaging them in a deep and meaningful way is paramount.

Each company will spend 1 hour per week with a Lead Mentor.

Know your Mentor, do your homework before you ask questions.

Go to meetings with an agenda and a list of in-depth questions for your Mentor.

Ask for feedback and advice.

Please be respectful of their time:
     Be responsive 100% of the time.
     Do not be late for meetings.
     Follow up and thank them for every introduction and meeting.
     Send out short weekly emails to your Mentors.
We are going to work on our Quick Pitch today.

They may suck but that’s okay!

We will spend the next month refining your pitch.

Open with your pitch every time you meet a new Mentor over the next month.

Listen to questions and feedback after your pitch to gauge if they understand.
Exercise:
 Select 1 person to give the pitch.

 Take 15 minutes to compose a pitch of no more than 2 sentences.

 After each company has pitched, ask the question “What does he do?”

 Give feedback. (5 minutes per company)

 Vote for the Best Pitch. (No, you cannot vote for yourself!)
Everything may not work out.

        Roll with it.

   Schedules will change.

     Take criticism well.
Be open with people.

We are here for each other.

    Get better results.
