OUR 6 STEP PROGRAM
Step 1: Unicorn Optimization Score
Weekly calls with your expert coach to calculate your unicorn optimization score (UOS) and determine which sprints and workshops will have the biggest impact for your company.
Step 2: Your Accountability Coach & Product Fit Roadmap
Weekly coaching focused on product fit roadmap and hitting targets. We start here and have accountability calls ongoing throughout the program.
Step 3: Building Bulletproof product fit and leveraging influence
Our program will help you maximize your footprint and build a maximum loveable product. We make sure you deliver your best to your customer.
Step 4: Aggressive Customer Outreach
Most startups fail to execute an aggressive outreach campaign and go to market successfully. Expert Dojo are market leaders in these concepts, and while leveraging our celebrity backing, we will show you how to maximize every dollar of marketing and build your perfect outbound campaign.
Step 5: Inbound Lead Conversion
We believe that the most important step in growth is not finding a lead but converting on it. This portion focuses on converting your prospects and increasing users once they find your platform.
Step 6: Investment
Our investment team will leverage our investor community and make direct introductions to VCs or other potential investors to help you close your next round and put more gas on your fire.
OUR PROGRAM MEASURES SUCCESS
Unicorn Optimization Score
Unicorn Optimization Score – is a score we assign your business based on the combination of 4 assessments that gauge how quickly we can get you to your next significant investment round. We combine these 4 areas so that you are able to fill your weak spots as soon as possible.
- Round Optimization
- Customer Optimization
- Outbound Optimization
- Conversion Optimization
Building a unicorn means that you need revenue of over $3MMR and do it quickly. Not everybody needs to build a unicorn but every company needs to maximize their growth so that you can sell your company in the future for the best possible exit price.
Expert Dojo uses math, targeting, and planning so you can quantifiably fix your barriers to growth and build a company that investors want to invest in.
OUR PROGRAM KEEPS YOU ACCOUNTABLE
A coach will be assigned to you for the duration of the program and is committed to your success beyond the Expert Dojo ecosystem.
Initially, their focus is establishing your baseline UOS, as well as identifying the most suitable workshops, sprints and mentorship programs to get your growth on a fast track. This includes testing and monitoring how successful new tools and strategies are performing over the short and long term.
Your coach is there to hold you accountable to the commitments you have made, and will continue to make on your journey.
Your coach will also provide regular strategic planning throughout the program while you complete the ongoing cycle of sprints and workshops.
