Season 01
Batch 01

Home for builders is a startup school where ambitious builders spend eight weeks validating, building, and launching their startup alongside other founders.

Goal

Every builder builds and ships something real.

Duration

8 intense weeks.

The Journey.

A rigorous, eight-week sprint from zero to one. No fluff, just execution.

Phase 01

Week 0

Problem & Opportunity

Every great company starts by deeply understanding the problem it wants to solve. Whether you're building software, an agency, a media company, or a service business, clarity comes before execution. Spend time talking to people, understanding the market, and validating that the opportunity is worth pursuing.

Goal

Validate a real problem or market opportunity.

Deliverable

Problem statement & opportunity brief.

Phase 02

Week 1

Vision & Validation

Define what you're actually building. Identify your ideal customer, map your offering, and validate demand before investing weeks into execution. Your solution doesn't need to be perfect—it just needs to solve a meaningful problem.

Deliverable

Business concept, prototype, service outline, or validation asset.

Phase 03

Week 2

Build

This is where ideas become real. Build your first version—whether it's a product, a service, a community, a brand, or an experience. Focus on shipping, not perfection.

Goal

Launch Version 1.

Phase 04

Week 3

First Customers

Start putting your work in front of real people. Reach out manually, onboard your first users or clients, collect testimonials, and understand how people interact with what you've built.

Goal

Acquire your first users, customers, or clients.

Phase 05

Week 4

Iterate

Listen carefully. Improve based on real feedback, remove unnecessary complexity, and strengthen what creates the most value. Every conversation should influence your next decision.

Deliverable

Version 2 with documented learnings.

Phase 06

Week 5

Business & Sustainability

A venture becomes real when it can sustain itself. Define your business model, pricing strategy, operations, and financial assumptions. Focus on creating something people are willing to pay for.

Goal

First revenue or a validated monetization strategy.

Phase 07

Week 6

Growth & Distribution

Great ideas don't spread on their own. Learn how to consistently reach the right audience through content, partnerships, referrals, communities, outbound, or other growth channels. Discover what works for your venture.

Goal

Build your first repeatable growth channel.

Phase 08

Week 7

Demo Weekend

Share your journey with the community. Present what you've built, the lessons you've learned, your traction, and your vision for what's next. Every builder leaves with a clearer direction and valuable feedback.
