5 days

·

Cohort-based Course

The difference between Success and Failure for a Startup relies on the ability to identify and help ONE customer solve ONE huge problem.

Course overview

The biggest mistake to avoid is creating something nobody wants.

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.

Founders with Technical backgrounds who need Marketing help to transform features into benefits to offer a great product.

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

Make smart decisions to increase your chances of Success.

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
