Jumpstart Foundry 2012 is now accepting applications. This will be our third year of pushing start-up companies to achieve greatness. It is not a program for the weak or lazy. Launching a company is a significant achievement that only succeeds when a small group of incredibly smart people commit to one another to go to any length to win.
Jumpstart Foundry will prepare you for war. No, we don’t fire live ammo and haven’t anyone killed (yet). But answering the call to action to build an important product, disrupting an entire industry and beating down competitors, feels a lot like war. This is why JSF runs an intense, competitive and fast-paced program modeled after a Marine-style boot came.
Over the course of the 14 week JSF program, you will do the following ten things:
- Pivot your business model multiple times (in the first week)
- Work 15-18 hours per day – six days a week
- Learn methodologies, strategies, tricks and shortcuts to help win battles
- Get advice from 100+ Mentors who have been to war multiple times (having both won and lost)
- Build your product and get customer feedback
- Rebuild your product (lots)
- Meet 25-30 other entrepreneurs from around the country preparing for their own wars
- Craft a story to sell to angel or VC investors
- Have a lot of fun, but not sleep much
- Change your perspective on business and life
Are you planning to go to war with a start-up concept? Are you crazy enough to want to join the JSF Marines? We will teach you to kill with your hands and be a bad-ass entrepreneur for the rest of your life. APPLY NOW.
Too hard for you? That’s not a problem, we understand – not everyone is cut out to be a bad-ass entrepreneur… go back to watching reality TV. The world needs followers too.
