From the basics of brain storming to perfecting your pitch, Founders Space provides many weapons necessary to any businessmen. Even if you have had the experience of running a company, the mentors and advisers will tear you down and rebuild you on a stronger basis.

After delivering my first pitch in front of investors, I have gained so much confidence that I feel like I can more comfortably pitch again to other audiences.

One of the most essential lessons were learning how to listen to other entrepreneurs. In addition, I was simply amazed by how we could be taught to control ourselves in front of a big crowd. Read More...

On behalf of the entire Exeq team, I would like to thank Steve Hoffman, Steve Austin, and the entire Founders Space for some of the most incredible two weeks in our company’s history.

Beyond the intense and high-quality academic process that provided insight on business development, fundraising, and go-to-market strategy, Founders Space truly provided Exeq’s founders “founder space.” For two weeks, my partners and I escaped the everyday distractions of life and business to incubate, bond on deep levels, brainstorm new and open-minded ideas, and focus on growing the company.

Founders Space’s eclectic population also introduced us to valuable alternative experiences, while creating a profoundly collaborative environment. The startups, which ranged of a multitude of different sectors, offered informative access to a variety of ideas in finance, media, technology, and philanthropy. For us, Founders Space served as a critical stepping-stone that accelerated Exeq from a disruptive product, to a super lean and targeted business viable for scale and profitability. Read More...

I can’t start talking about Founders Space without mentioning their team, Steve Hoffman (Captain Hoff), Naomi Kokubo, Steve Austin and Nathan Schor. They are the core of the accelerator and each one brings real world expertise that is directly applicable to any startup.

Captain Hoff and Naomi were great to look at VendOp and really dig in to our business model. Nathan brought insight into how to make our marketing messaging way more effective. Steve Austin spends the most time with the startups, really sharing his experience and expertise in sales, pitching, building a business, taking to investors and much more. To supplement their experience and knowledge, many other mentors were brought in and spent an enormous amount of time with us.

Just as impressive as the mentors were the other startups in the program. We had companies from all over the world that are disrupting many different industries. Common between all of the companies was a passion for what they are doing coupled with incredible industry expertise. Read More...

“Practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect,” said one of the most beloved coaches in American history, Vince Lombardi. Well in brief, Founder’s Space is “perfect practice!”
