"StartupDevKit is practically everything I wished I had when I first started my startup journey and moved through the phases. I built it so potential and early-stage founders could get ahead quicker, smarter, and learn from the mistakes of others before them and to save founders time and money by centralizing content you'd use to help you grow, all in one place."
StartupDevKit has been indispensable for my startup with the wealth of different resources, the mentoring, and feedback I’ve received from its Founder, Carl Potak.
Since working with him, we have raised a full seed round in funding for our blockchain startup. I would implore any startup founder to tap into his knowledge, the vast startup resources this platform has to offer, and will continue to bring.
As young college grads starting a virtual reality gaming and content studio with no business experience, it was hard finding people who believed in us and our vision.
But Carl believed in us and not only has he given us great advice that has helped us raise investment and grow, but he's helped to keep the team motivated and focused too.
StartupDevKit's platform and accelerator program, combined with his mentoring, has been a game-changer for us and I look forward to continuing working with him.

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:
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 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.
