We are excited to launch the Solve Hub Build Programme starting on the 1st of October 2024.
Over the course of 2 months, we will be taking aspiring and existing entrepreneurs through the initial steps of starting a business, from ideation to go-to-market. All you need to join the program is the grit and perseverance required to start a business. Participants will be expected to put in a minimum of 10 hours a week into their startup.
The Build Program is structured in 4 stages:
Stage 1: Team building
Solve Hub will assist participants to form cofounding teams, based on their interests, skills and location. Introductory sessions will be held for participants to get to know each other and understand each others strengths and weaknesses.
Stage 2: Education and Ideation
There will be a series of talks by successful founders, VCs, incubators, accelerators and innovation hubs. These talks will give participants an understanding of the startup landscape in Africa, exposure to various opportunities for startups and first hand accounts of what it takes to create a successful startup. Solve Hub will give workshops on tools to increase productivity and help with client outreach. This stage will also include brainstorming sessions with Solve Hub and between teams to narrow down a business idea and business model.
Stage 3: MVP and Market Research
Teams will focus on researching their target market and start the iterative process of product development. Once the basic product/offer is ready, teams will open conversations with potential customers to get a better understanding of their needs. During this stage teams will also explore strategic partnerships.
Stage 4: GTM, refining and pivoting
Teams begin to take their product to market through various channels. The first sales call will provide feedback to be incorporated in refining the product or pivoting. This stage will conclude with a pitch competition.
Who is this program for?
Co-founding teams who need help taking their product to market.
