StartupDevKit vs. Traditional Incubators & Accelerators

We're a Flexible, Personalized, and Stress-Free Startup School

Our Incubator and Accelerator Programs

✅ No applications necessary and anyone can join.

✅ We have open enrollment instead of cohorts because each startup is at a different point than others.

✅ Participate in and finish our programs on your schedule. Our courses are 100% virtual.

✅ Skip ahead of lessons if you’ve done the same work already.

✅ Keep your job until you’re generating enough money to focus on your startup full-time.

✅ Get optional mentoring (as an add-on) to further guide you.

✅ Keep your equity for angels &/or rounds for raising venture capital at a higher valuation.

✅ We have huge libraries of specially curated resources, saving you dozens of hours.

Traditional Accelerators

❌ You’ve a 1% to 3% chance that you’ll get accepted into a traditional accelerator. 

❌ You have to spend precious time and energy into doing an application.

Mandated trainings, office hours, and days of meetings, even if you don’t need them = a waste of your time and distraction from the real work.

❌ Moving across the country to attend is often required.

❌ Few accelerators will let you keep your day job, creating undue financial strain on you, anxiety, & stress.

❌ Rarely will you know who mentors you before applying.

❌ Extremely low or discounted initial valuations for minimal investment, making the opportunity cost greater.

❌ Minimal transparency of internal resources available to outsiders.

No scheduling headaches, no more excessive research leading you down the rabbit hole, and no more financial insecurity.

Get a stress-free learning experience and empower your startup on your terms, with StartupDevKit.

What's the Incubator Program Like?

The Incubator Program offers a 15-lesson course that guides potential startup founders through validating or invalidating their startup ideas and helps build a strong foundation for growth.

Incubator Focuses

Idea Discovery

Flesh out your idea, its potential, learn about competition and market opportunity.

Get the idea structured so you can move to the next phase.

Ensuring it's Scalable and Profitable

Find out if the idea scalable and how profitable it can be, based on market demand and market size.

Validation

We'll show you exactly what you can do with customer discovery and how to do interviews to validate your idea with our specialized process.

42% of startups fail because they build a product that isn't needed.

Don't let that happen with yours - prevent it by using our idea validation course.

Who's the Accelerator Program For?

Build, launch, and grow a sustainable, profitable, and diverse company from a validated startup idea.

If you’re a founder of an early stage startup and you’ve already validated your startup idea, then our accelerator program will be right up your alley.

Whether you’re about to start building, currently building, or have less than 500 customers, we can help you get set up with an engine for growth and help you raise capital.

Our course is divided into three phases and can take around three months.

We cover many topics to help you plan, build, and grow a resilient and sustainable startup that’s far less likely to fail and much more likely to succeed.

The course is only one aspect of the program. 

Scroll down to learn more about the Accelerator program.

The Accelerator Program

Our Accelerator Program features a 45-lesson step-by-step course that builds an even stronger foundation for startups who have validated their startup ideas.

Strong foundations are needed for founders to grow and scale with minimal setbacks.

Our accelerator program helps you:

  • Create a product/service that people will love and build a sustainable startup that will be poised for massive growth
  • Establish a growth and customer success system that will help you get loyal users
  • Learn how to build an excellent and inclusive organization with operational efficiency
  • Avoid costly mistakes that could set your startup back months and drain lots of your money
  • And more

What's the Accelerator Program Like?

The 45 content-packed lessons are split up by arbitrary weeks and months (or phases). Each “month” in the program is a phase.

A very motivated team could complete the program in three months while maintaining day jobs.

A solo founder will likely take longer than that.

But fear not. If you need more time to complete each week’s lessons, you can take as much time as you need.

Each month has themes, but there are some lessons that are independent from those themes.

If you need help, you can ask questions in our forums or via email.

Accelerator Focuses

Phase 1 Focuses

Establishing a Strong Foundation for Startups + Getting Set Up for Development & Growth

Phase 2 Focuses

Product / Service Development + Growth Marketing

Phase 3 Focuses

Launching + Marketing + Preparing for Fundraising Venture Capital

Don’t aimlessly build your startup & make the mistakes that cause 90% of startups to fail.

Use our program to guide you, to reduce likelihood of failure, to save you time and money, and use it to help you thrive.

Take your future into your hands today.

Try the first two weeks of the program risk-free, with a 14-day free trial membership.

Increase Your Productivity

Between our courses and our libraries of resources, you’ll be saving dozens of hours from research.

👇👇👇

If you make $40/hr, you’ll save approx. 3 hours a week or $120/wk = $480/mo (12 hrs) = $1224/3 mo (36 hrs)

Time ⌚ = money 💲

Subtract the cost of any plan and you still have a positive ROI.

Use Our New Forums to Ask Questions, Get Answers, and Interact with the Community

Not only do we have forums for the Accelerator program,  we have them for our Incubator program too. 

We also have a general discussion forum that anyone can use from either program, plus those who have a Lite membership (freemium; coming soon).
