Start the next big thing here.
You already know the ABC. It is time to start the next big XYZ.
What is Start:XYZ ?
Welcome to Start:XYZ, an experimental initiative designed for founders who are itching to create something remarkable. We understand that the journey of starting a new company is not a straight line, and it may be even more true for experienced founders and executives. That's why we're here to offer you the support and structure you need to kickstart your next big venture.
Start:XYZ is not your typical startup program. We don't aim to teach you how to start a company from scratch. We assume you already know the ABC.
Instead, we provide experienced founders/executives with personalized 1:1 support and a community of peers who are also navigating the early stages of entrepreneurship. Our goal is to give you the resources and encouragement you need to explore your ideas and take the next steps in your entrepreneurial journey.
Cohort Format
Our cohorts typically run for approximately three months and consist of 4-5 founders. We understand that every founder's schedule is unique, so we offer a flexible time commitment that includes ad hoc 1:1 chats (both in-person and asynchronous text) and scheduled peer group meetings.
Who is it for?
Start:XYZ is tailored for individuals who are interested in the B2B/software space and fall into one of the following categories:
Serial Entrepreneurs/Post-Exit Founders: Those who have been down the entrepreneurial path before and are itching to dive back in.
First-Time Founders with High-Growth Experience: Individuals who have recently worked as operators in high-growth companies and are now ready to embark on their own startup journey.
If you somewhat have an idea about the customers you want to solve problems for and are determined to start a new company within the next 12 months, then Start:XYZ is the perfect place for you.
What do you get?
When you join Start:XYZ, you gain access to a range of invaluable resources and support, including:
A Strong Network: Connect with the Salesforce mafia, a network of experienced individuals who can help you validate your ideas and connect you with potential design partners.
1:1 Accountability: Regular catch-ups with mentors to keep you on track and accountable for your goals.
Peer Group Support: Join a community of 5-6 founders who are on a similar journey. Share insights, exchange ideas, and support each other's growth (while avoiding conflicts as much as possible).
Financial Commitment
There's no financial or equity commitment required to participate in Start:XYZ.
