Scale Up New Mexico
TechSprint
TechSprint is an intensive, cohort-based accelerator that guides tech startup founders through technology market validation, emphasizing customer discovery, market insight, commercial potential, and raising capital from investors.
Cohorts meet once a week for six weeks, with sessions where participants present to industry experts on the different aspects of their Business Model Canvas (BMC), sessions feature presentations, discussions, feedback, objectives-setting and mentorship from tech startups experts. Additionally each participant will have access to weekly one-on-one meetings with an Arrowhead team member and/or mentor, providing customized assistance and addressing individual questions and concerns.
The Sprint Model: Each session will host at least 3 types of mentors/advisors to help accelerate the traction of the startups: technology development (scientists, faculty, inventors), commercialization (consultants, IP and business law attorneys, market evaluation, product development, licensing, marketing, accounting), and capital (angel investors and venture capitalist).
