Aspire Startup Bootcamp - Saigon Edition

​Aspire Startup Bootcamp is a selective program designed for founders ready to level up fast. Through hands-on clinics, expert-led sessions, and investor access, participants gain actionable frameworks to scale. Only high-potential, growth-minded founders like YOU are accepted, space is limited and the experience is designed to be practical and intensive.

• ​Vetted Cohort: Highly-curated attendees/selection of high-potential founders

• ​Hands-on Clinics: No passive stages. Just workstations, templates, and expert guidance.

• ​Investor Access: Direct lines to pre-seed and seed-stage VCs looking for "Day-One" readiness.

​Leave with more than inspiration. Leave with a vetted framework for scale.

• ​11:00 – The "Brutal" Pitch Audit Move past aesthetic slides to focus on what investors actually care about: the Problem, Solution, and Business Model. Work in peer-led "audit squads" to tear down your current pitch and identify weak links.

• ​13:00 – Lunch Break & Networking

• ​14:00 – Zero to One Diagnostic — How Technical Founders Decide What to Build Before They Waste a Sprint
  
  Most product workshops teach frameworks. I run diagnostics. We don't brainstorm — we test. Attendees will walk through their own idea using the same constraint-testing lens I use with founders: founder alignment first, validation second, build third.
  
  Attendees will walk away with:
  - A completed 1-page Problem-Hypothesis Canvas (diagnosed live during the session)
  - A 30-day validation protocol with clear go / no-go criteria
  - A personal "build vs. kill" decision filter they can use immediately
