LebNet Ignite 7 [Oct-Nov 2019]

LebNet Ignite#7 [Oct-Nov 2019] was powered by Draper University Hero.
Breakdown of the 5-week program:

• Week 1: How to build a 10-year company
• Week 2: Marketing, Sales and GTM strategy
• Week 3: Survival week with Tim Draper. Survival training out in nature accompanied by navy seals. Team building activities and most importantly access to Tim.
• Week 4: Legal, term sheets, immigration help, etc.
• Week 5: Demo day + preparation
• Week 6 – 10 (Optional): Startups have the ability to stay 4 to 5 weeks extra to finalize any pending business transactions.

The morning sessions will focus on having mentors come in and meet the startups. In the valley, it is difficult to connect directly with investors, and the network of founders/angel provided by the LebNet Ignite program is key to introduce you/vouch for you to investors.

Note: The LebNet Ignite program is tweaked for every cohort to cater to the participating startups as well as to the availability of mentors.
