Incubator Course (Idea Validation)
The Incubator helps you validate your idea before you invest heavy time or money. If you’re on the free trial, the first 5 lessons are unlocked—your progress carries over if you upgrade.

Lesson controls: buttons at the bottom help you move to the next lesson.
Focus mode: hover your avatar (top-right) to open your menu. You’ll only see items your plan includes.
Your First Four Lessons
- Lessons 1–2: quick primers that set the stage (read both in ~20 minutes).
- Lesson 3: dive into your idea, vision, and potential; first exercise included.
- Lesson 4: team dynamics, CTO considerations, skills assessments.
Tip: Lesson 3 can take longer if your idea is early. Start it sooner than later.
Pacing
Estimate lesson time by length, then compare expected vs actual to find your cadence. Work sustainably—fast enough to learn, steady enough to validate.
Pro Tips
- Use Audioread to listen on the go.
- Save resources via browser bookmarks or Pocket.
