45 days, week by week

Six weeks, one result in each. From day one to Demo Day — not day by day, but week by week.

45 days, week by week

45 days is not a course. Every week has a goal, and on Friday it is shown. Here are the six weeks, one by one.

Day one: the cohort on campus

Inside a week

  • Monday — the number, with the tracker
  • Wednesday — one hour with a mentor
  • Friday — the result, in front of the whole cohort

One goal a week. If there is nothing to show on Friday, the week did not happen.

What you get in that time

  1. A $1,000 stipend — 45 days of thinking about the product, not money
  2. A mentor every week — one to one with someone who built a company
  3. Demo Day — investors in the hall who write cheques
  4. A community — 56 startups that stay in your phone after the programme
The cohort — one room, even after the programme

The programme days are in Tashkent. There is no remote track — being in one room is part of the programme.
