After five years of successfully running Grid110 in Downtown LA, we are excited to expand to South LA. We recognize the talent in the area and have put in place the curriculum and resources to unlock the potential. Check out our two programs below – Residency and Idea 2 Product – to see which is right for you.
RESIDENCY
- The Residency program is a 12 week program for established companies with evidence of traction (users, investment, revenue, etc.) looking to accelerate to the next stage of growth.
- The cohort meets Monday and Thursday evenings with I2P for the first 4 weeks and then once per week for the remaining 8 weeks. Our program is structured to enable founders to focus on day-to-day business operations, while layering in critical support where needed. The weekly sessions tackle topics such as (but not limited to):
- Core Fundamentals: problem/solution validation, value proposition, customer personas, prioritization, pitching, storytelling.
- Startup Leadership: prioritization, hiring, developing team culture, founder self care.
- Financials: building/reviewing financial models, growth vs. scale, KPIs for fundraising.
- Sales & Marketing: understanding and leveraging customer acquisition techniques and/or sales strategies.
- Fundraising: understanding various funding pathways and determining which is best for your company, reviewing pitch decks, networking with investors.
IDEA TO PRODUCT (I2P)
- Idea to Product (I2P) is an 8 week program designed to help founders at the earliest stages of their ventures focus on the fundamental parts of building a successful, sustainable business.
- This program targets founders that are anywhere between the idea to product stages of a product or service. This program typically targets pre-launch companies or those that are post-launch with very early traction.
- The cohort meets Monday and Thursday evenings for two-hour sessions made up of hands-on instruction, advising, and collaboration. Topics of the sessions include:
- Finding problem/solution fit and honing the value proposition
