FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What happens in a Product Teardown?
We take your product (or MVP) apart—strategically. UX, messaging, pricing, positioning—we analyze how it’s perceived and used, and suggest actionable improvements to sharpen your edge.
What’s the Prep Session?
A prep session for founders is an intensive mentorship and workshop experience where founders work closely with expert mentors and domain specialists to refine and perfect their pitches, ensuring they are investor-ready and market-aligned.
Who gives the feedback, and how in-depth is it?
Feedback comes from carefully chosen experts across product, marketing, UX, and funding. It’s candid, constructive, and personalized to help you move the needle.
What is the ‘Pitch Deck Review & Storytelling Masterclass’?
It’s a hands-on workshop where we fine-tune your pitch deck, sharpen your narrative, and teach you how to tell your story so that investors get it—fast. You’ll walk away with clarity and confidence.
Will this be in-person or virtual?
We’ll run both formats. The key in-person events are in Singapore (Switch 2025) and Dubai (Gitex, Early October). We also host virtual warm-up or follow-up sessions to keep the momentum going.
Is there a cost involved?
There may be a nominal fee or sponsorship depending on your stage and track. Once you apply, our team will share a personalized plan with you.
What’s the benefit of participating in the Singapore or Dubai track?
