Curriculum

The curriculum will be tailored to individual company needs to the extent possible. Phase I and Phase II will each be followed by a two-week break. A general outline of the program follows:

Phase I – 6 Weeks

“Customer and Company”

This phase is focused on finding the right customer-product fit. Sessions will be focused on customer discovery through lean startup methodology. There will also be time for teams to meet as many mentors as possible via “mentor dating” and networking mixers.

Phase II – 6 Weeks

“Product and Market”

Teams will then focus on refining product. This is the time to leverage the knowledge gained in the first 6 weeks. Teams work with their lead mentors and technical experts. Growth hacking and marketing strategies will be explored and tested in this phase. Phase II culminates in our Startup Paradise Demo Day in Honolulu with introductions to local investors and corporate partners.

Phase III – 1 Week

“Traction and Pitch”

Sessions will be held to coach teams on pitching and teams will practice repeatedly with staff, peers, and mentors. One-week program in San Francisco culminates the program with Bay Area mentor connections and San Francisco Investor Day.

Let’s go global together.

Stay tuned with our journey, and thrive with our accelerator program.

Stay Tuned

Still Have Questions?

Do I have to be on-site in Hawaii / in the Blue Startups office?

We do expect at least 2 founders to be here in Hawaii and in the office for the duration of the program. The remainder of the team can reside elsewhere but this is not ideal. Ideally your core team (3-4 people) will participate and be in the office.

What is my time commitment to the program?

We expect all teams to work on-site at the Blue Startups space in downtown Honolulu. At a minimum you should be here at least 5 hours a day. All teams are also expected to participate in all planned activities including workshops, mentor meetings, peer-to-peer meetings and social events. Failure to participate will impact your team’s ability to participate in Demo Day at the conclusion of the program.

What are my obligations to Blue Startups ongoing?

We expect all companies to keep us apprised of major developments as they evolve. At a minimum we expect quarterly financial reports and company updates including details on subsequent financing rounds and valuations. We also encourage graduates to stay closely connected with us as alumni – continuing to visit the program on a regular basis to offer advice to our cohorts and build a vibrant entrepreneurial community in the space. We may have space available for co-working arrangements following graduation.

Blue Startups is focused on helping companies compete on a global scale. With an extensive global network, Blue Startups is a nexus of entrepreneurial activity in Hawaii, and between Asia and North America.
