Questions

Do I need a business idea before I join?

No. Week 1 helps you find and sharpen one. If you already have an idea, you'll test it from the first week.

Are the classes live or recorded?

Live on weekends, and every session is recorded so you can catch up.

Will you register my company for me?

We walk you through every step so you can file it yourself.
