Are you an underestimated or diverse entrepreneur?*

We definitely applaud Ivy League grads (and we dig the sweaters); we're just trying to do things differently and share the wealth. Are you one of the following: person of color, woman, LGBTQIA, non-traditional background or education, not in Silicon Valley, NYC, Boston, Austin, over 45, military, or differently-abled?

Yes

Is this your first startup?*

Yes
No - I had one other but it wasn't wildly successful
No - I had one before and exited with cash in my pocket

Are you willing to commit 2h/wk for 8 weeks of class, plus homework, preparation and the occasional survey?*

You bet - bring it on!
Not sure - this is a lot of time

Let's talk about your business. While we're pro-SaaS Tech, it's not the only option here. Which industry are you in?*

What's your "WARRIOR STORY?"*

This is not a chronology of your past experience, it's why you're special, different, what you're passionate about and what compels you forward?

Do you agree to the use of your photos, videos, etc. for promotion on our social channels and newsletters?*

One of the benefits of this class is that those who put in the work get presented to investors and expert consultants to 10x your connections. You also get spotlighted on our social channels. This means that successful applicants will agree to the use of their photos, videos, etc. for promotion on our social channels and newsletters. Do you agree to this?

Yes!
We need to discuss this
