For LA Blue, you must have an intent to build and grow your business in Los Angeles. Braid Theory offers coworking space at Altasea at the Port of Los Angeles for all teams.
The program concentrates on three key aspects of commercialization: building capability, capacity, and intellectual capital. Some additional topics include: business model, market fit, customer discovery, value proposition, and go-to-market strategy.
During the 10-week program, teams will engage in weekly 90 minute curriculum calls, a 60 minute 1:1 with their assigned mentor, access to industry advisors, and be responsible for working towards specific deliverables. We understand founders are very busy. Expect to spend 3-5 hours a week.
Braid Theory does not provide direct seed funding.
No, our Accelerator and Incubator programs are free and equity free.
