Jumpstart Your Venture

In this intensive 10-week program, I bring my extensive practical experience and expertise to guide startups through developing a clear vision, strategic planning, market approach, and preparing a pitch deck for potential investors. Tailored to ensure you (and your team of up to three members) lay a solid foundation, this program helps you avoid common costly mistakes made by many before you. It’s designed to save time and set you up for success, equipping you with the knowledge and tools needed to launch effectively and efficiently.

Three Essential Benefits of Our Startup Incubator Program

Crafting a Vision that Enthuses, Inspires, and Intrigues

Our Startup Incubator Program is designed not only to educate and prepare but also to help you craft a compelling vision for your business. We focus on developing a dream that not only drives your team forward but also captivates and engages potential investors and customers.

About the 
Startup Incubator Progam

Our Startup Incubator Program consists of ten private sessions spread over 10 weeks, each lasting approximately 2 to 3 hours. Throughout the program, participants will engage in intensive, personalized coaching that targets the unique needs and challenges of their startup. Between sessions, participants are expected to complete assignments either at home or in their office. These assignments are designed to apply what has been learned in sessions to real-world scenarios, reinforcing the development of strategic skills and the implementation of their new business vision. This structured approach ensures that each startup receives the full benefit of the incubator, making substantial progress each week.

Who Will Benefit from the Startup Incubator Program

First-Time Entrepreneurs

Individuals launching their first business can greatly benefit from the structured support of an incubator. They often lack experience in key areas such as business planning, fundraising, and marketing. Our incubator program provides mentorship, resources, and a supportive community that can guide first-time entrepreneurs through the complex startup landscape.

Tech Startups

Entrepreneurs in the tech sector, especially those working on innovative or disruptive technologies, can leverage the technical support and specialized resources that we offer. Advanced software tools and connections with tech industry leaders can accelerate the development of your products.

Social Entrepreneurs

Those focused on social impact often need assistance in balancing mission and profitability. We specialize in social enterprises and can offer tailored support in areas such as measuring impact, securing funding from like-minded investors, and creating sustainable business models that align with their goals.

Scale-Up Startups

Businesses that are past the initial launch phase and looking to scale can benefit from advanced business coaching and strategies for scaling operations effectively. This support is crucial for managing the challenges of rapid growth and entering new markets.

"Sometimes in your life, there comes a time when everything in life is dark gray or maybe even black. The concept of Ben’s multi-day coaching made a deep impression on me. The combination of healthy food, sports and mental coaching, and friendly conversations made it complete for me. I’ve seen a lot of parts come along, NLP, and neurosemantics. It brought insights into myself that I had lost along the way. It gave me back the energy and motivation to be who I am and made me decide to start a new business. And enterprise I mean in the broadest sense of the word, so also in being human. Thx Ben!"
