Discover Startup Fundamentals
Startup Fundamentals is a five part series (plus a bonus “Demo Day”) that focuses on the core skills and strategies for a strong business.
Each class provides you with supplemental homework, reading, and exercises to do between classes for further your growth. You can also book time for one-on-one support throughout the process through Connection Services and Action Advisor sessions.
By the end of the series you will have a strong business plan, pitch deck, customer and market research completed, and a complete marketing/launch plan. Finally, you will have the opportunity to share your business with a panel of experts and mentors for feedback during our celebratory demo day/graduation.
After the series you are eligible to enter our Momentum Mentor Sprint, a two month one-to-one structured mentoring program.
This series would typically cost about $11,000 per company, but because of the generous sponsorship and grants from the City of Tucson and the Thomas R Brown Foundation, we are able to offer the whole series for a bundled price of $45.00.
