Have you been exploring ideas for a while now and want to get serious about building your startup?
Have you identified and explored a passion, problem space or novel technology, but lack the framework, network and know-how of how to turn it into a viable business venture?
Are you a team player with an entrepreneurial mindset, looking for more co-founders to accelerate your entrepreneurial future as a responsible & successful leader?
