Scaling & Value Creation Class Cluster: Strategic Planning, Exit Strategy, and Go-To-Market

RVC's Scaling & Value Creation Class Cluster has everything that investors and startup founders alike need to create a long-term strategy for startup companies. This workshop will be split into three 90 minute session taking place across three consecutive weeks.

The workshop starts out by “beginning with the end in mind.” The exit strategy workshop is where founders will learn about building value not just for their first customer who buys their product, but for the “second customer” that is likely to acquire the company and return capital to investors.

Next, the course moves into the strategic planning segment, where founders work on defining mission, vision, and values that start the company on a strong foundation followed by development of OKR’s - the Objectives and Key Results needed to achieve the company’s goals. The OKR method is used by fast-growth companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon to focus their teams on success.

Finally, the workshop wraps up with lessons on creating a go-to-market strategy, often the area of the largest risk for early-stage companies.

For those looking to create strategies around growth and eventual exits (critical for returning capital to investors), this is a must-attend class!

About RVC Class Clusters

The RVC Class Clusters are designed to combine elements of angel/venture capital strategy in clusters that support one another and, if taken alone, would not be as effective.  RVC offers three Class Clusters every quarter including the Scaling and Value Creation Class Cluster, the Finance Class Cluster and the Final Steps Class Cluster.  Ideally participants would sign up for all three.

When you sign up for the Class Cluster you are registered for all three sessions.  Sessions will be recorded so if you start late or miss a session, the recording will be made available to you.
