WHAT HAPPENS IN A HOTSPOT SESSION?

GOAL CHECK-INS

During your first roundtable, you’ll set a goal for where you want to be at the end of the 6 weeks. Each session, we’ll start off with a goal check-in to track progress.

roadblock brainstorming

We’ll then go around the group sharing any challenges you’re encountering, and crowdsource solutions to help you stay on track.

Before the session ends, you’ll determine the #1 action you need to take before next week’s session to help you stay on track with your goals.

  • Lucy Hall

    “The quality and range of speakers was excellent, particularly the balance between investors and founders. From the start, the programme felt like a safe space, which allowed frank and genuine discussions and advice, which is invaluable. The level of time commitment expected from us a founders was bang on - not too much that we felt dragged away from running the business, but not too little to feel the course was lightweight. An unexpected bonus was the power of the cohort of fellow founders - not just a great network, but also reassuring to feel we are not alone in the challenges we face and with the highs and lows of start-up world.”

BY FOUNDERS. FOR FOUNDERS.

The programme is hosted and facilitated by Hotbed’s co-founders, M & Perdie.

  • I have been part of two Hotbed programmes already. And it keeps getting better. I have derived great value out of these. The line-up of speakers/industry experts is excellent! The cohort group is very good with some excellent work being done.

    Michael John Magdongon, Founder @ Strabo

  • "Hotbed programmes are totally unlike any other accelerator out there. They understand founders and have built a programme that give founders the support we really need. Access to networks of the best founders/investors. Talks and events that provide actionable insights - no waffle. 100% founder centric. Plus they'll push you out of your comfort zone. You are guaranteed to 10x your network, skills and confidence. Highly recommended"

    Jacqui Meskel, Founder @ Huggnote

  • "Great experience! Being a part of Hotbed has added a lot of value to us here at UJJI on two fronts specifically: 1) Meeting up with other top knotch founders and participating in talks with inspiring industry leaders, founders and investors. 2) Looking up close to weekly growth based on our most fundamental KPIs, placing efforts and resources behind them to see constant week on week improvement."
