It is two days and its mission isn’t to inspire you. Its mission is to significantly increase your chances of creating a successful business. There are plenty of events which bring out plenty of speakers who inspire very well. I’m interested in giving you as much actionable knowledge and direct feedback as possible.
In addition to the practical knowledge learned during the school. Most of the files, documents, contracts, spreadsheets, term sheets, grant applications and presentations Michael has created over his last 12 years will be provided to the course participants (under NDA, and with redacting :)).
