🚀 You’ve got a thousand ideas in your head, but when it’s time to actually start working on one… you have no idea where to begin?

You’ve thought about starting a business. You’ve told your friends about your idea. Maybe you’ve even started working on it.

- But then the questions kick in:

- Does anyone actually need this?

- Would anyone pay for it?

- How do I get my first customers?

- And, most importantly… what do I do next?

If this sounds familiar, Vest Ventures Pre-Accelerator is exactly for you. And yes,  we’re already at Cohort 3, and it’s the last one of the year! 🚀

So, what are you actually going to do? For 4 weeks, you take the idea that’s been sitting in your head and put it to the test.

You test it. You put it in front of real people. You talk to potential customers. You get feedback. You build. You see what works, change what doesn’t, and, step by step, find out whether your idea can actually become a startup.

🔥 You’re not just learning about startups. You’re building one.

During the program, you’ll learn how to:

- validate a real problem;

- talk to your potential customers;

- test whether your solution actually works;

- build an MVP without spending months on it;

- find out whether people are willing to pay;

- build your pitch and present your product at Demo Day.

And, most importantly, you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll have mentors, entrepreneurs, and other people going through the same journey by your side  people who can help you figure out what’s working, what needs to change, and what your next move should be.

So, if there’s an idea you keep putting off with “I’ll start when I have more time…” Maybe that time is now. 👀
