My First 365 Days of Entrepreneurship

Introduction: When you hear the word start-up, what is it that springs to mind? Wikipedia defines a start-up as a business in search of a repeatable and scalable business model. But, for many of us, the term conjures certain associations that we can relate with our fellow entrepreneurs and their journey.  To connect, collaborate and communicate , SLP Pune aims to provide start-up entrepreneurs with different perspectives on the early days in the journey & life of an entrepreneur.

About Startup Leadership Program:

SLP™ is not a bootcamp. We want our Fellows to be the world's best-trained Startup CEOs when they complete the program and try to create an advanced, personalized learning experience. Our faculty is a mix of Entrepreneurs, VCs and Specialists, as well as our Fellows. Every year, thanks to innovative ideas and feedback from Fellows, our curriculum improves by leaps and bounds, always staying relevant and cutting edge. Here are some aspects of our curriculum which we aim to deliver mostly simulations, exercises, HBS cases and direct individual feedback, and in rarer instances, through talks and panels.
