Choose Your StartupDevKit Program

Two programs. Different starting points. One connected platform.

Choose the learning and execution path that matches the biggest challenges facing your startup today.

01 / Validate the Opportunity

StartupDevKit Incubator

Turn your startup idea into an evidence-backed direction that’s worth building.

For founders testing an idea, exploring a market, or deciding whether an opportunity deserves a larger investment of time and resources.

  • Validate the problem, customer, market, and business model.
  • Develop your Venture Model Canvas and early startup strategy.
  • Design experiments, gather evidence, and decide what comes next.

02 / Build & Grow the Company

StartupDevKit Accelerator

Build the strategy, systems, and growth engines behind a scalable startup.

For founders moving from validation into product execution, operations, go-to-market, revenue growth, and company building.

  • Develop company-building strategy and operating systems.
  • Strengthen product, marketing, sales, and growth execution.
  • Build readiness for financing and scaling when appropriate.

The Incubator helps strengthen the opportunity. The Accelerator helps you build and grow the company around it. Both connect education with startup strategy and execution.

Two Specialized Courses · Included With Both Programs

Go deeper where your startup needs it most.

Both Incubator and Accelerator memberships include these dedicated courses, giving founders deeper guidance on product execution and resource-efficient company building.

Product Development

Building and Scaling a Product-Led MVP

Design a product experience that earns adoption, retention, and expansion.

A focused path through MVP strategy, specifications, design, AI-assisted development, testing, launch, customer learning, and evidence-based scaling.

Move from early product assumptions into a focused MVP that creates customer value and generates evidence.

Capital-Efficient Execution

Advanced Bootstrapping in the AI Era

Build a stronger startup with the resources you have.

Develop financial discipline, customer-funded growth, AI-native operating leverage, lean execution, and systems for long-term sustainability.

Both courses included. You don’t need to choose between Product-Led MVP and Advanced Bootstrapping. Both come with eligible Incubator and Accelerator memberships.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few things to know before choosing your program.

How the programs, specialized courses, AI Startup OS, and trial access work together.

What’s the difference between the Incubator and Accelerator?

The Incubator concentrates on validating a startup opportunity and establishing early foundations. The Accelerator focuses on building and growing the company through product, strategy, operations, go-to-market, growth systems, metrics, and fundraising readiness.

Are the Product-Led MVP and Bootstrapping courses included with both programs?

Yes. Both specialized courses are included with eligible Incubator and Accelerator memberships. Choose your primary program based on your startup’s needs, rather than which specialized course you’d like to take.

What can I access during the free trials?

Each 10-day trial includes Lessons 1–5 of its respective core program, Lessons 1–5 of Building and Scaling a Product-Led MVP, and Lessons 1–4 of Advanced Bootstrapping in the AI Era. Both also provide limited access to the AI Startup OS and eligible trial resources. No credit card is required.

Do I have to take the courses in a specific order?

No. The programs are self-paced, and you can revisit lessons or workbooks as your startup changes. The suggested starting point depends on whether you’re validating an opportunity, developing a product, or operating and growing your company.

Does StartupDevKit take equity or require joining a cohort?

No. The current self-paced Incubator and Accelerator memberships are equity-free and don’t require a cohort schedule.

Is one-on-one mentoring included in the memberships?

Individual mentoring sessions are separate from the standard program memberships. Eligible members can arrange additional founder-specific guidance when needed.

Your Startup. Your Next Step.

Choose your learning path. Build with an execution system behind you.
