We plan to offer three core services to aspiring media entrepreneurs and founders:
Launch six-week long cohort-based programs to help creators or aspiring media founders gain access to relevant content and a specialized, active & supportive community.
Create a buildsprint environment within each cohort for creators and operators to take a media venture idea from 0 to minimum viable product (MVP) or proof-of-concept stage.
<aside> 🚧 *Buildsprints are essentially long-form hackathons used to accelerate the initial build process, and help creators launch their ventures or projects quickly. Teams of up to five people kickstart or build ideas and projects. At the end of the sprint, all teams showcase their work in the form of a recorded video and presentation.

And do so in a manner that is sustainable, harnesses the power of community, and gives every new or aspiring media entrepreneur a fighting chance at making it, not just a select few.
Sprints are great for rapid prototyping and ideal for the following types of individuals:
