Launch

While many wish they can make their ideas happen, why is it that only a few actually succeed at doing so? What’s the big secret? 

Through our experience working with over 1000 entrepreneurs and over 500 startups that collectively raised over $100 million we've seen the patterns, and experimented, developed, honed and mastered this process that our alumni currently use to launch, fund and grow successful startups.

In LEAP we focus on the nine key building blocks for launching, funding and growing a successful startup arranged in sequential steps to get you started right away and let you know what you need to do next. Missing any of those steps will significantly increase the likelihood that your startup will stumble and die - Don’t mean to be dramatic, but that’s the reality entrepreneurs must deal with if they ignore the fundamentals ;)
