Startup School - Online Entrepreneurship Course

Startup School is a free online course aimed at founders who are actively pursuing their own entrepreneurship.

Throughout the course, our goal is to achieve the following objectives:

1. Encourage and motivate people to consider starting a company as a way to have a positive impact on the world.

2. Teach people how to start a business and equip them with resources and tools to help them prepare for the present and future.

3. Establish a community of entrepreneurs who can encourage, educate, and support each other.

Participating in the course is self-directed and based on your entrepreneurial stage.

Below we define the three "stages" that most founders will fall into during their participation in entrepreneurship schools. Please note that these are general classifications. You may feel that you are not completely aligned with one of these stages, and you may go through these stages (forward or backward) during Startup School!

Stage 1

You are validating your idea and building the initial product. You are discussing your ideas with potential users.

Phase 2

You have already established an MVP and may have some users. You are talking to these early customers, getting their feedback and iterating.

Phase Three

Your product has many active users. You are working hard to increase revenue/users/sales.
