Find Product-Market Fit in the Future of Learning & Work

In week 1, you will be introduced to the other founders in your cohort and learn about the fellowship's objectives & modules. This will be a space for you to learn about what everyone is working on and introduce yourself as you share your work!

You will also be placed in one of our 8 thesis groups that will help you connect with peers & alumni in our community who are building in the same space as you. Learn more about Transcend's 8 Open Theses here!

We begin the week by covering the fundamentals of product-market fit and sharing case studies of founders and their experiments to find PMF. You will learn about different frameworks and receive access to in-house tools that will help you identify where you stand in your current PMF journey.

You will also begin your journey with experimentation as you embark on learning more about your customers effectively. You will learn to structure & run lean experiments that are low-cost and provide you with clear insights about your customer's behavior.

Also, you will also hear us talk about 'Magic' a lot during this week.

This is the week you run your first experiments and track your observations! We dive deeper into B2B vs B2C experiments and how metrics play role in understanding the success or failure of a test.

The goal this week is to instill in founders that it's not just enough to run 1 or 2 experiments that may or may not deliver your desired results. To find PMF intentionally you must build a cadence/habit of running 'X' number of experiments every w!

You will learn about the different types of experiments you can run, adot the foundations of building a cadence, and receive access to our experiment tracker + case studies of founders in our network!

A core objective of this fellowship is to allow you to identify & activate the right funding model for your startup.

In our fundraising week, we explore all the different models that are available for founders including Venture Capital, Bootstrapping, Nonprofit, and Impact investment. You get to explore what the right 'Funding-Market Fit' is for you on first principles and activate the right strategy for your organization. This is also the week we initiate conversation around reviewing your deck and connecting with investors through warm intros.

In week 5, you get to wrap up your fellowship experience with Transcend Outro: a facilitated discussion that will gather top founders, investors, and leading experts in the space to intimately discuss future trends in education and work and jam on present challenges your startup is facing.

We believe the best relationships are formed through connections rather than pitch competitions and hence outro is the space for you to truly build your global founder-investor network.

You will graduate into our global community and learn about how you can best leverage Transcend as you continue your journey towards intentionally finding PMF for your startup!
