One-of-a-Kind Programming
The program is based on the proven curriculum developed by Venture Capital for Dummies author, Peter Adams who has taught this elements of this program nation-wide, on-line, at RVC sponsored training events and at the Colorado State University MBA program for years.

Now you can get the same program information and coaching that MBA students have paid thousands of dollars for in just one short, but exhausting week.  

But to be clear - this is NOT an academic program. This is a hands-on, real-world, venture readiness program with insights into the minds of investors and how to succeed not only at funding but in growing and scaling your business to a successful exit.

Get Pitch-Ready in Just Weeks
You'll get access to concepts and advice that are not available elsewhere. This is the insiders guide to funding and scaling a startup.

The program is a combination of content delivery, mentoring, and hands-on development. By the end of the program you’ll have a complete set of all the information, documentation and strategy that Venture Capitalists want before they will provide funding.

Companies who complete the program are considered “investment ready”, meaning that they have all of the information ready to begin pitching confidently to investors for angel and venture capital.
