Launch
Program Dates:
Cohort 12: October-December 2015, NYC
Cohort 13: May-July 2015, NOLA
Launch supports entrepreneurs to bring new ventures—products, services, or school models—to life in under 90 days. If you’re a bold, gritty individual hungry to solve a tough problem, the Launch program will push you to test and iterate your envisioned solution until it is really meeting the needs of your end users.
4.0 provides an extensive test-bed in New York (Fall 2015) and New Orleans (Summer 2016), where companies and nonprofits can iterate based on real user feedback and secure their first customers.
Launch offers entrepreneurs with ambitious ideas:
- up to $10,000 in equity-free capital
- individual coaching from a team with deep education sector experience, expertise and connections, and
- a cohort experience with other entrepreneurs who similarly want to successfully bring their ideas to market and shape the future of school.
