Incubators: How Well Can Your Entrepreneurs Defend Their Ideas?

By guest author Irina Patterson

We see it over and over. Entrepreneurs pitch to Sramana at the 1M/1M Weekly Roundtables. Sramana punches a few holes in their businesses. Entrepreneurs fall apart. Why?

Because most entrepreneurs don’t have access to world-class business experts. Thus, most entrepreneurs don’t develop strong ammunition to defend their ideas.

You don’t develop that skill by coding or talking to your peers. You need a skillful opponent who is willing to take your business apart for your own good. Angels and VCs will anyway. And if you go to them first, you are rejected out of hand.

The 1M/1M program is a boot camp. It’s tough. It is designed for learning and moving forward. Fast.

Our 1M/1M public roundtables are free and are held every week. Are you using them? Do you bring your entrepreneurs to test their mettle against Sramana?

It is rare that you can find such an opportunity that is accessible from your location and with a world-class business leader. And it’s FREE.

Make the most of this opportunity for your incubator. Give your entrepreneurs a taste of what a real-world customer or investor discussion might look like.

I promise you that if your entrepreneurs can defend their business with Sramana, they will be able to sell it to customers, employees, partners and investors. You can even talk to us about a co-branded roundtable for your incubator where we’ll have only your incubator’s entrepreneurs pitch.

Note: The 1M/1M team has invested significant resources to engage with and understand the challenges of the incubator industry around the globe. You can sign up for our opt-in mailing list to get this information via email on an ongoing basis.
