sometimes more work then building a product!
â˘NEXT and Customer Discovery (if done right) will save you years of your
life working on the wrong idea
Mentors are here to help and educate
â˘Respect their time and come prepared
â˘Mentors can only help if you have done the work and have new data,
challenges, etc. to work through
Have fun and talk with your fellow entrepreneurs!

15. Why you are in the room?
Everyone here should meet one (or more) of the following
points:
⢠Wants to know how to fund their startup or make it more fundable
⢠Wants to bootstrap their idea into growth and product/market fit
⢠Get feedback on their idea or find out if this is really a good idea
⢠Leave their day job for their own company
Individuals that want to:
⢠Find co-founders
Teams that want to:
⢠Test their working relationships
⢠Get into an Accelerator/Incubator
People that listen and are coachable
⢠Mentors arenât going to give the answers; they will ask better questions about your idea. If
you donât want to be challenged, youâre in the wrong program
⢠Investors, accelerators, etc. place a big emphasis in backing coachable entrepreneurs, so
you can start building or practicing that skill
16. Ground rules
Be prepared to:
⢠Do the weekly homework and watch the videos
⢠Do interviews with potential customers out of the class time
⢠Be honest, open and coachable, and most importantly, ready to learn
⢠Update your Business Model Canvas
Present your Observations
â˘If you havenât done the work, DONâT present last weekâs work
What if you drop your idea during NEXT?
⢠Stay in the program and work on a pivot!
⢠Ask to help another team â doing the work is how you will learn
⢠Begin to better understand the material to use for your NEXT idea
⢠The extra weekly content topics are built around the basic concepts
every accelerator and investor expects founders to understand
