FAQ'S

Find answers to your queries

What if I don't have an idea yet?

That's completely fine! The program is designed to help you either refine existing ideas or discover new opportunities in areas you're passionate about. Week 1 specifically focuses on problem identification and idea generation.

How much time should I commit?

You should expect to commit 3-5 hours per week. This includes two 90-minute live sessions, plus independent work on your project. The more time you invest, the more progress you'll make on your product.

Do I need technical skills?

No technical skills are required. We'll introduce you to no-code/low-code tools that anyone can use to build an MVP. If you have technical skills, that's great, but it's not necessary to succeed in this program.

What if I realize my idea isn't good?

That's actually a successful outcome! It's much better to discover this early rather than after months of building. The course will help you pivot to better opportunities based on what you learn. Many successful founders pivot multiple times before finding their winning product.

Will I have a finished product by the end?

You'll have a working MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that addresses the core problem you're solving. It won't have all the bells and whistles of a polished final product, but it will be something real users can try and provide feedback on - which is exactly what you need at this stage.

When does the program start?

We kick off on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025. There will be two live sessions per week (with some exceptions) — every Tuesday and Thursday — for 5 weeks.

Time: 12:00 p.m. Mexico / 8:00 p.m. CET.
