SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 25, 2024 / In an ambitious move to support startups, Sam Ojei has launched StartupCohort, a non-profit academy designed to provide founders with the knowledge, tools, and community needed to build successful startups. StartupCohort focuses on making the often complex and expensive process of launching a startup to anyone, regardless of their background or financial resources.
As the Managing Partner at Foundersmax and Partner at StartupCohort, Sam sees the non-profit as an academy designed to help founders build their startup.
"We founded StartupCohort because we believe that great ideas can come from anywhere," says Ojei. "But too often, people with incredible ideas don't have access to the right support or mentorship to get their startup off the ground."
StartupCohort is designed to guide founders through the essential stages of launching a startup. The academy's program is built around three key pillars: Learn, Build, and Succeed.
Learn: Founders participate in a carefully curated curriculum that covers the fundamentals of building a startup. From market research and idea validation to product development and growth strategies, participants gain actionable insights from experienced founders.
Build: StartupCohort doesn't just focus on theory; it's about execution. Founders are encouraged to actively build their startups while in the program, receiving continuous feedback from mentors. The hands-on approach allows participants to iterate on their products in real-time and get to market faster.
Succeed: The academy's support doesn't stop at launch. StartupCohort provides ongoing resources and access to a community of founders, and mentors. This post-launch support ensures that founders have the guidance and networks they need to scale their startups.
As a non-profit, the academy offers its programs at no cost, ensuring that founders from all walks of life can participate.
StartupCohort is also built with global reach in mind. The program is entirely online, allowing founders from anywhere in the world to join. Participants have access to a network of founders, mentors, and investors from diverse backgrounds, creating a rich learning community where startups can collaborate and support one another.
While StartupCohort is open to all founders, the academy places a strong emphasis on startups that aim to build the future. Whether it's through AI or social enterprises, StartupCohort seeks to support founders who want to build the next breakthroughs.
With its first cohort set to begin in May 2025, StartupCohort is already seeing strong interest from founders. Applications are now open, and the academy is actively seeking startups with ideas who are ready to take the leap into building great products. StartupCohort's mission is clear: to help startups bring their ideas to life. Learning directly from founders who have built great companies, participants gain insights and practical knowledge to apply in their own journey.
"The world needs more founders, and we're here to help them get started," Sam concludes.
