Accelerated Startup Fundamentals

Ready to commit to start or grow your business? Join us for our new one-day Accelerated Startup Fundamentals, where we'll practice pitching your idea, dig into understanding your customer, and so much more!

Whether you're a first time founder or an experienced entrepreneur, Startup Fundamentals takes you step by step through the process of building the smart, scalable business of your dreams, giving you solid business foundations, a supportive community, and access to the qualified experts and resources you need to prepare to for success.

We know not everyone can make it to a 5-week class series, so we're excited to offer a one-day, accelerated version of our Startup Fundamentals course! Throughout this intensive day, we'll help you develop your Lean Business Model Canvas and you'll practice pitching your idea. We'll dig into understanding the problem you're solving for your customer, what makes you different from other solutions to that problem, and we'll give you tools to identify your target customer.

You will work on building your pitch throughout the class and we'll conclude the day with a graduation pitch event! You will pitch your business idea to a panel of mentors who will give you feedback and select a winner that will receive additional Startup Tucson services. These same mentors will be coaching and guiding you throughout the day to perfect your pitch!

You will gain a better understanding of your customer, your competition, and the market by focusing on:

• How your business can solve a true problem for your customer
• How to make yourself stand out against the competition
• How to whip up low cost and quick experiments to test out new ideas
• Confidently and effectively presenting your idea to others
• Implementing real-time feedback from course mentors

You'll also walk away with a:

• Snapshot version of your business plan
• Planning checklist to help you determine tangible next steps
• Customer interviewing script to help you design better solutions
• Pitch deck to share with others and help you tell your business story
• Invitation to apply for our 8-week Momentum Mentor Sprint
