Learn Together, Grow Together
Our community-centered approach brings together aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned professionals in collaborative learning environments. Through peer mentorship and group projects, you'll build both knowledge and lasting professional relationships.
The Power of Peer Learning
When Maeve first joined our September 2024 cohort, she was intimidating by pitch decks and investor terminology. Six months later, she was mentoring newer participants while closing her own seed round. This transformation happened because she learned alongside twelve other founders facing similar challenges.
Our groups typically include 8-15 participants with complementary backgrounds. You might find yourself working with a former venture capital analyst, a serial entrepreneur, or someone transitioning from corporate finance. This diversity creates natural learning opportunities that textbooks simply cannot replicate.
- Weekly peer review sessions for pitch development
- Cross-industry collaboration on due diligence processes
- Shared accountability partnerships for milestone tracking
- Group problem-solving for complex fundraising challenges
