https://lnkd.in/dsq29uyA A 12-week pre-accelerator program tailored towards navigating early-startup practices, building an MVP, and growing traction. We invest $25k or $125k into the top graduates.

In honor of #EDTECHWEEK, we'd love to share our Started Story ... In 2017, we unveiled our groundbreaking simulation-based training for lawyers worldwide. Over the next two years, we dedicated ourselves to refining this transformative offering through our inaugural Corporate and M&A program, collaborating with individual lawyers across the globe. By 2019, we proudly secured our first Am Law client, K&L Gates, marking the start of an extraordinary journey. Our pivotal breakthrough came when we were admitted into the StartEd Accelerator Program in 2019. In the program, we were surrounded by top-notch mentors, investors, peer companies, and visionary founders in the EdTech space. We gained the focus and insights to scale our company to its current success. Back then, we had just five courses and one client. Today, we have over 80 clients in the Am Law, with more than 60 simulation-based courses spanning various practice areas and professional development topics. And we're only getting started—simulation and feedback were just the beginning. But that is the beauty of reflecting on that moment - especially this picture below on Demo Day where we and other amazing groundbreaking founders took the stage to share our vision. StartEd helped us tremendously to be where we are today. Stay hungry & humble, never stop learning & iterating, surround yourself with experts, advisors and visionaries in your field ... get focused And put in the work to make it happen.

The #1 thing that helps founders grow and be successful is not capital.  After working with hundreds of founders and execs in recent years, I’ve seen that the most powerful element for growth is not what you think.  At the early stages, it’s tempting to think more money will solve problems and ensure success. Capital is relevant and important. But it’s only helpful in conjunction with 2 things:  #1: Your team. Partner with and surround yourself with world-class people who share your values. #2: Making it happen. This involves strategy, execution, persistence, and yes, even luck.  The biggest aid to #2 is…. Others who can help you.  You need other knowledgeable peers, mentors, friends who help you see blind spots and leapfrog to the next level.  Even more powerful: if these peers and guides share your values and truly understand who you are seeking to become.  This is why we created the SENT Ventures Fellowship: Peer cohorts of the leading Catholic founders and execs seeking to build great ventures and even greater eternal impact in community, helping each other. If the SENT Fellowship may help you, the deadline for the next cohorts is tomorrow, May 31! Apply here to join:  https://lnkd.in/e9H2KwU9
