Day 1 - Orient
Orient yourself and your team around the sprint goals by exploring the problem, planning the sprint, mapping the journey, and finding the gaps, with expert and mentor-led support. The evening finishes with a shared circle of what's holding us personally back and how we can support each other to push through.
Day 2 - Ideate
Head into researching other ideas to remix and reuse, before demoing these to your team, and ideating on the solution you're going to focus on during the sprint. Following fast-paced feedback sessions and prep for later week validation, we finish up after dinner with an inspirational talk from a successful entrepreneur.
Day 3 - Execute
Sprint! Get into building what your solution can look like for later testing with customers; guided by your startup mentors, iterating until you have an interactive prototype or MVP to test. Lining up more test users to validate the prototype tomorrow, leaves you head-down after dinner to complete the build.
Day 4 - Validate
The rubber hits the road as you bring your customers in to test your solution and get real-time feedback, as the group brings together their insights and iterates the prototype and decides what they need to be doing differently. Post dinner session focusses on structuring the pitch ready for tomorrow's showcase.
Day 5 - Pitch
An early start leads into refining the prototype with batch two of your potential customers as you bring together the final insights from the week, and craft them into a wonderful story, ready for a community showcase, with judging by our panel of experts. Dinner, drinks, network, and celebrate for making it to the end of the Sprint!
Day 6 - Reflect
Relax, step-back, and reflect on the bigger picture of what you managed to achieve in the week, where you need to go next, and check-in on your personal goals; whilst discussing with our team any requirements for ongoing mentorship from our virtual coaches after the sprint.
