Program Overview
How can one quickly develop a prototype from an idea, test it, get feedback and keep improving it until it is ready to launch? Learn how to do it at our upcoming bootcamp.
Regardless of your background, whether you're a seasoned professional or fresh graduate, our 6-hour in person workshop and self paced learning during our ASN Pre-founder Catalyst Program will help you hack the learning curve of building a company and increase the chances of success. All to help you avoid wasting precious time and money. Please don't leave your full time role until you take this bootcamp and are sure that you are ready to take the plunge.
If you are in a career transition, this launchpad for getting started on your dream business idea.
Prior to the live workshop, we kickstart with a week of self-paced course, where we will expose you to 7 essential concepts as well as easy to use generative AI tools and prompts you need to quickly build a prototype and get feedback. The list of concepts represents the culmination of our team's collective learnings over the past decade, by working closely with more than 100 startup companies.
By the end of 7 days, you'll know which tool or framework to fall back on while figuring out your business idea as well as other questions that pop up along the way, and learn how to use the lean canvas method to analyze which idea makes the most sense to start.
Prepare to challenge your assumptions and reevaluate what you've learned, whether from academic settings or corporate environments.
On the day of our Pre-founder Catalyst bootcamp, we will begin the day with grounding on the 7 elements, making sure that you have mastered them. Next, this is when the rubber meets the road - we organise a hackathon where you will process from ideation to a business idea that is aligned with your passion, experience and values. Our experienced mentors will be there at the workshop to give instant feedback during the hackathon as well as critique at the end.
We will also help you develop an actionable roadmap so that you will be able to grow your business to raise angel funding before quitting your full time job. Beyond the workshops, you will get to directly plug into a supportive network of more than 1,000 experienced entrepreneurs, investors and mentors throughout Southeast Asia, ready to provide mentorship and guidance to help you navigate the intricacies of startup life as well as invest in your business. Join us at one of the external events monthly (we have events exclusive women too!) to help you network, make like-minded friends and quickly grow as a founder on your startup journey.
