We’re excited to welcome our newest Idea Stage cohort to StarterStudio!

Over the next six weeks, these founders will dig into customer discovery, pressure-test their assumptions, and start building solutions to problems that matter — laying the foundation for the rest of their entrepreneurial journey.

This is where the work begins. Let's go. 🚀

Good news: the deadline has been extended. ⏳

Applications for the Idea Stage Accelerator are open through May 20: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=175QLhiKtUqBPuGfwiF077eRC_jMkSpGpWn8du5nkCxUNEdRNEpWU01CS1VUVTlKQlUxSDIwRTI5Ui4u&route=shorturl

If you have a tech-driven idea and you're not sure where to start, this program was built for you. You'll validate your concept, talk to real customers, build your value proposition, and map out your market and strategy — with support, structure, and a community that gets the journey.

You won't leave with just an idea. You'll leave with direction, momentum, and a network behind you.
