TAKE THE LEAP
We are dedicated to empowering first-time entrepreneurs in taking the leap to transform their innovative ideas into thriving ventures. We provide tailored support and resources to foster a dynamic ecosystem where every founder can achieve their entrepreneurial goals and contribute to the growth of impactful businesses.
Our Core Beliefs
We recognize a wealth of untapped potential among diverse founders and their unique ideas outside of Menlo Park and Palo Alto.
Boldness
We celebrate entrepreneurs for their courage in embracing risk and pioneering new technological frontiers, inspiring others to follow in their footsteps. Their vision and determination drive innovation, create opportunities, and foster a culture of creativity and resilience. Through their bold efforts, they transform industries, fuel economic growth, and make a lasting impact on society.
Resilience
Being an entrepreneur is challenging, and for some, the journey is longer and fraught with more obstacles. We believe that these challenges foster the resilience necessary for success.
Trust
Venturing into uncharted waters can be daunting. We believe that building trust within founding teams is crucial to overcoming the inevitable challenges that will arise.
Curiosity
The best innovators are driven by curiosity. To think differently, one must have the ability to question differently.
Catalyst
In a rapidly changing world, entrepreneurs serve as catalysts for meaningful change, harnessing technology to address pressing challenges and improve quality of life.
WHO WE SERVE
First-Time Tech Entrepreneurs
The thought of building a business and being ‘your own boss’ can generate tremendous hope and excitement. However, this excitement typically wanes as the challenges ahead become all too real… little to no initial revenue with growing expenses, fundraising rejection due to lack of a startup track record, seemingly never ending strategic decisions to make. We know the challenges all too well, and have the experience and tools to help get you off the ground.
OUR SERVICES
Time and money are the constraints for most first- time entrepreneurs. And the challenge is that there’s no shortage of advisors recommending pivots or customers wanting you to change your product to serve their needs. If you’re not careful, you’ll end up exhausting what initial investment you have before ever getting those paying customers or initial investors. Our services are intended to provide first-time founders a way to more quickly identify the market with the problems worth solving, and the direction they need to build a solution to address those market problems.
HOW WE ARE
DIFFERENT
While entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone, we believe that a path to generational wealth through entrepreneurship should be visible and available to all. Inspired by companies like Tom’s and Bombas that give back for every product sold, we give back through engagements that allow us to evangelize entrepreneurism and mentor socio-economically disadvantaged youth to bring their business ideas to life.
