Lightspeed Extreme Entrepreneurs 2019 is a training series that combines the rigour of new age business stewardship with the verve and tempo of rock n roll – all for zero equity, no strings attached – right while you keep running your business!
We’ll be taking applications till Aug 15 and staging the show in Delhi, every Tuesday, through six weeks starting Sep 03 till Oct 08.
Testy
Tuesdays
Our 8 shortlisted startups selected in August will be invited to be a part of Extreme Entrepreneurs 2019. The program will be run every Tuesday for 6 weeks.
Each Testy Tuesday comprises a morning, afternoon and evening session.
Morning Sessions
Exposure to world’s best people and ideas – up, close and personal with startup titans. Last year’s masterclasses include: Anu Hariharan (Y Combinator) – Startup Basics, John Thompson (Microsoft, the Chairman!) – People and Culture, Farid Ahsan (Sharechat) – Zero to One, Jeremy Liew (Seed investor, Snapchat) – Why Winners Win, Bipul Sinha (Rubrik) – 0 to $300M revenue in 3 years, Alex Chung (Giphy) – Cracking Growth and many more! Visit our blog for learnings from last year.
Afternoon Sessions
A Lightspeed partner assigned to each shortlisted startup takes office hours with them – brainstorming potential business situations, training them through different junctures of their growth story, holding and executing simulated days and events in the life of their nascent business. It’s real-world prep with mentors who’re the real deal.
Evening soiree
It’s rare that the start-up world let their collective hair down, mingle and who knows – share a quip or shake a leg. India’s tech movers and shakers that includes investors, engineers and media will be hanging out and highly accessible through the evening and over cocktails!
AND MUCH MORE!
