If accepted, you will be part of an innovative and influential cohort, and we’re just as excited as you are to get going. Because of the short and long-term investment that you, Entre-SLAM, and our partners will make in you, we want to ensure we’re all heading into this experience with our eyes wide open.

We have a lot to accomplish in six weeks, and the more we know about you as far as what you want to get out of this process, your learning style, and what you need to be at your best self, etc., the better.

Let’s dive in, shall we?

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time will I need to devote to the accelerator?

We recommend you carve out 2-4 hours a week to work on your assignments and to get the most out of the experience. We highly recommend signing up for weekly office hours that run between 30-45 minutes (link will be provided at the end, if you decide to continue).

I’ve pitched before. Can’t I roll with what I’ve done in the past?

Mostly no. The most significant difference with this accelerator from others in the market is that most end with a big Pitch/Demo night. In this accelerator, there will be very little ‘pitching.’ You’re going to learn how to be a compelling, data-driven storyteller.

Bottom line: discovering your brand’s story is a more profound process that can be, at times, frustrating. But, if you open yourself up to the journey (and do the work), you will learn how to construct a powerful bridge between a viable business model and your unique value proposition with storytelling.

Extra bonus: Once you can blend your UVP into a compelling story, you can transfer those skills to deliver a more robust pitch.
