A typical 7 Day Sprint Looks like this

Before we offer you a seat as Founder-in-Residence and invest in your company, we work together for two weeks remotely as part of the interview process. This consists of 2 sprints (1 sprint per week), where you will be given specific OKRs. Your results will determine the outcome. Each sprint looks something like this:

  • Source 50 qualified leads
  • Write and send outreach campaigns
  • Map the delivery process (SOP V0)
