Early Stage Learning
UpStart's entrepreneur programs offer targeted support at every level. Taking your initiative from a bold idea to a powerful force in Jewish life can seem daunting, especially if you don’t know the basics of venture development or aren’t quite ready for an intensive cohort program. Over the last few years, UpStart has supported dozens of early-stage ventures as they test out their ideas and see what sticks. And this year, we’ve launched something entirely new – free, open access early stage learning for anyone with a bold idea who meets our early stage criteria and has. the chutzpah (gall) to give it a try. We built these self-directed webinars, activities, and resources around the needs of the early-stage entrepreneur–it’s flexible, accessible, and provides additional resources as your venture changes and grows. And it focuses on the most critical topics for early-stage ventures from developing proof of concept (a way of demonstrating that your initiative works) to financial readiness. You can move through the learning at your own pace and at any time.Geographies1111 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94607, USADatesNot indicatedSourceUser-generatedAgriculture, fishing and forestry,Arts and culture,Community and economic development,Education,Environment,Health,Human rights,Human services,Religion,Science,Social sciences,Sports and recreation,Public safety,International relations,Public affairsArtists and performers,Farmers,Self-employed people,Veterans,Military personnel,Academics,Activists,Adults,Children and youth,Heterosexuals,Intersex people,LGBTQ people,Men and boys,Women and girls,People with disabilities,People with diseases and illnesses,Persons with substance use disorder(s),Jewish people–$250KThe Venture Accelerator
