Q&A #1: Founder Institute - Ask us anything!

​​[If you're not able to make this Q&A, there will be another session Tue 4/14 @ 11am https://luma.com/spuba4ds]

​

​Hi there.

​​Did you know that 92% of early-stage startups FAIL?
That. Is. Stupid. 😠

​​When I was a founder, I saw this and it blew my mind.
7 years later this stat has barely moved. WTF. 😡

​❓How is that even possible??❓
In this day and age with every resource at our fingertips. Founders today don’t lack information. They’re drowning in it. Every day, they’re hit with new trends, conflicting advice, and shiny objects that pull them off course.

Reviewing hundreds of startup post mortems... it's crazy to me that a huge amount of all the contributing failure factors were avoidable things.
Not. Awesome.

​I was also surprised to learn even though so many were surrounded by people... many still wished they had more guidance. “Focus and lack of direction are the biggest challenges to startups”. Speed and timing are crucial, mis-steps are costly.​

​With all the noise… Especially w/ AI in the game. It's tough to choose (or what not to choose) which actions will boost your startup. 🚀We're hyper focused on helping founders level up & get a better shot at being in the 8%.

​​So! Bring your questions! Accelerators aren't for everyone, is it right for you? Does everyone need to want the VC route? How's it different? What's the program structure like? AI trends and how that affects startuplandia. We'll be ready. =)

​We're looking forward to meeting you.
