Build a Plan That Works
Acting on a false assumption can kill a startup. FastTrack gives you the tools and structure to build intelligently by:
- Teaching you to craft KPIs that matter—and progress them weekly
- Diving into the nine essential building blocks of a business model
- Running tests to validate or invalidate each block
- Teaching you how to pitch your company clearly and confidently
- Helping you build a sales funnel, define messaging, and start acquiring early users
- Guiding you through marketing, financial projections, and overall go-to-market planning
Build a Real Company, With Real Value
At the completion of the Accelerator, you will have:
- A defined pathway to building and leading a successful company
- A clear, unique value proposition
- A sketched-out marketing and sales plan
- A validated set of assumptions about your customer, product, and market
- Real-world signals of traction based on tests and early demand
- Increased confidence about your next steps—whether that’s launching, raising funds, or entering another accelerator program
“What I really enjoyed [about FastTrack Accelerator] is that it wasn’t a solo mentorship, you have a group. You have all the advisers who provide guidance, but then you also have the cohort. It feels like a community — we are helping each other; we each have our own unique dreams for a startup. The advisers simplified the process of building a business in a way that I could understand it, but not so simple that it wasn’t useful. It was really eye-opening.”
