021’s proposed program experience brings your methodology into founders’ weekly work. Start with one pathway and a defined cohort.

01

Put your curriculum to work

Connect lessons to tasks, deliverables, and the evidence your program asks founders to collect.

02

Make mentor time count

Prepare concise venture summaries, open questions, and links to the work behind each conversation.

03

See the progress behind the pitch

Track participation, experiments, and decisions so your team can identify where support will help.

Agree on what success
looks like before you start.

01

Participation

Are founders returning and doing the work?

02

03

Mentor preparation

04

Staff time

How much time goes into chasing updates and reporting?

Built for a thoughtful buying decision.

Can we use our own curriculum?

That is the starting point for a program pilot. We agree on one pathway, your milestones, and the materials you have permission to use. More extensive curriculum work is scoped separately.

Do we need to replace our current tools?

The initial pilot can run alongside your application system, calendar, and community. We agree on imports, exports, and reporting needs during scoping. Custom integrations are not included in the standard pilot.

What is included in the $3,000 pilot?

The proposed eight-week pilot covers up to 25 ventures, one configured pathway, onboarding, weekly director summaries, and a closing review. Your team provides its mentors. Dates, service limits, and delivery details are agreed in writing before payment.

What can directors and mentors see?

The pilot agreement defines the shared work, progress information, and mentor access. Founder evidence and program materials should be accessible only to authorized participants. We will confirm the exact permissions with you before onboarding.

Can we put our brand on it?

A program name and logo are part of the proposed pilot setup. A custom domain, extensive visual customization, SSO, and bespoke integrations are separately scoped.

How do we decide whether to renew?

Choose success criteria before launch: active participation, meaningful evidence submitted, mentor preparation, and staff time spent. The closing review compares the results with that baseline and informs an annual license decision.
