We don’t believe a fixed curriculum works - it’s too general and wastes precious time. Instead, we’ll tailor-make a program to ensure you get the advice you need. Almost all of the content throughout the sprint is optional, you choose what brings value to your company.
1:1s WITH MENTORS & ADVISORS
Building a startup is hard. But, it’s a little easier if you get to bounce ideas with and get advice from experienced, successful entrepreneurs. You’ll be matched with several mentors and advisors during the accelerator. We want to make sure that if you don’t find chemistry with a mentor or an advisor, you will not be stuck with them. You’ll get advice, feedback, pitch training, connections and total honesty from the people you’ll meet and work with.
PEER FEEDBACK SESSIONS
Advice and feedback from your peers can be just as valuable as from mentors. You’ll find opportunities to share and grow with other startups in your batch and other batches. Every week, you’ll get together with the full batch to discuss your progress, give and receive feedback and suggestions, and keep each other accountable.
PITCH TRAINING SESSIONS
On a weekly basis we invite investors and pitch training experts to work and improve on your 3 minute pitch. This is one of the most popular sessions and the progress is remarkable.
OPTIONAL GROUP SESSIONS
We don’t want to waste your time with unnecessary group sessions and workshops. You will be offered a menu of group sessions on your common areas of needs. You are most welcome to join those if you think they are relevant, but we do not expect you to sit in classrooms to please the speakers and facilitators. On the contrary, we encourage you to walk out if you joined a session and did not find it useful for your company and specific questions.
WORKSPACE ADAPTED FOR CRUNCHTIME
The program will be tough. There’s no doubt about it. You’ll be working hard and sprinting fast. To do this, you’ll have 24/7 access to Norrsken House - a workspace built with entrepreneurs’ needs in focus. But it’s also about community - learning from and interacting with your peers. It may be the conversation by the coffee machine that’s the game-changer.
PIZZA NIGHTS WITH TALKS FROM INSPIRATIONAL FOUNDERS
In the midst of the sprinting, there’s still time for a little fun, laughter and inspiration. We’ll bring in inspiring entrepreneurs to give short Ask-Me-Anything sessions, followed by pizza & drinks with your peers, co-founders, mentors, and other startups we think are great.
