dock3 Training
100 university students, researchers, and graduates selected from hundreds of applications from over 50 universities have the opportunity to form multidiciplinary teams, define a problem, create a business model, and then validate the project on the market; all while accompanied by over 50 experienced mentors.
It all starts on April 4th with the composition of the teams (you can apply alone or with a team). The training continues through May with online and in person meetings on subjects such as problem identification, lean management, customer discovery, business model, MVP and investor pitch. The program culminates in June with the pitch testing. Meetings take place on Mondays from 6-7:30 and Thursdays from 4-7.
