Startup Bootcamp
Startup Bootcamp is an intensive weekend program built for early-stage founders who are ready to stop thinking and start building.
The through-line is simple: your pitch deck is your first prototype. Rather than working through abstract frameworks, every session is focused on building and stress-testing a specific section of your deck so by the time you leave, you have a real artifact that captures your business model, your market, and your thinking.
Friday evening sets the stage. You'll learn what actually separates venture-scale startups from everything else, hear lightning pitches from every founder in the room, and get introduced to the pitch deck as a tool for thinking, not just fundraising. Saturday is where the work happens: a full day of focused sessions on the slides that matter most, culminating in a mentor swarm where you'll get direct, honest feedback on your deck and your business model.
You won't leave with a certificate. You'll leave with a deck, a plan, and a community of founders who are on the same path.
This is for you if:
You're building a tech or tech-enabled business with the potential to scale well beyond your local market
You're thinking about venture funding, angel investment, or at minimum building something designed for high growth
You have an idea (or a few) and aren't sure how to pressure-test it
You're pre-revenue, pre-product, or just getting traction and want a structured path forward
You want honest, direct feedback on your business model from people who've been in the room before
You're ready to do the work, not just talk about it
This is not for you if:
You're building a local business, a franchise, a service business, or a lifestyle business — there's nothing wrong with those, but this program isn't designed for them
Your goal is a profitable small business, not a scalable, high-growth venture
You're looking for a lecture series or passive learning experience
Your startup is already funded and scaling (this is early-stage territory)
You want validation without accountability
