Course overview
85% of New Startups fail within 5 years.
Not because of the lack of great technology, but because they couldn't find recurring-paying customers.
Learn to find the best customers for your business, identify their Desired Outcomes and solve their most urgent problems.
01
Founders with Technical backgrounds who need Marketing help to transform features into benefits to offer a great product.
02
Female Founders in need to identify their unique competitive advantages to create a profitable business.
03
Latin Founders who have identified problems in their communities and need help building a strong business
Target the right customers
Not all customers are good customers. When you understand what your ideal customers are trying to achieve you will have a competitive advantage.
You will learn to identify your customer's drivers and desired outcomes
Improve your positioning to increase sales
Communicate clearly the benefits that your customer gets from your product.
Learn to articulate exactly why you are better
Differentiate from the Competition
The best way to win your competitors is by understanding not who they are, but who they serve. Your competition is the "solution" that your customers chose.
You will leave this cohort understanding who are your real competitors.
Increase your chances to raise capital
Your presentation needs to stand out to get the funding you seek, as 9 out of 10 Pitch Decks end up in the trash. Is not about how great your technology is, is about Team dynamics, Timing, Traction, and well-prepared Founders.
You will leave this cohort with a Strong presentation
As a Woman, Latin, or Technical Founder, you face many challenges, lack of opportunities, and setbacks to begin your Startup.
During this course, you will acquire the fundamental building blocks, guidance, and support to find your customers and build a profitable business.
