The 24th Cohort of Venture Forth™ Entrepreneurs is Forming @TechRanch

On May 27th, 2014, a cohort of 15 passionate entrepreneurs will band together to exchange social capital, create opportunities, and accelerate their ventures to startup success. Venture Forth™ is Tech Ranch’s premier program for early-staged startups to gain traction quickly while building out the platform to grow their business. It is the most cost effective and time efficient startup development program in Austin. Taking action quickly and early is promoted.

Something unique happens when you put 15 committed entrepreneurs together in an accelerated 8-week process. A “community of practice” emerges where everyone is driven to try new things and provide opportunities and insight for members of their “extended team.” This is how you arrive at a product the market will buy.

There are no applications, just commitment. If you are passionate to change the world with your venture, then plan to attend the upcoming info session about the forming cohort.

Important Dates for the next Venture Forth™ cohort
Early Bird: April 29, 2014
Registration Due Date: May 20, 2014
Program Start: May 27, 2014
