What You’ll Learn

Build, Test, and Launch...Faster

For busy, working founders who have an idea brewing, this bootcamp gets you closer to traction in just 45 days.

You'll learn to:

Design and Test Business Model Blueprints

We use the exact framework Ash Maurya used to grow his products to millions of users—so you're not guessing, you're applying a battle-tested method.

Run Experiments and Find Your First Users

This isn't theory. You’ll be running real experiments and collecting real data. If you put in the work, the bootcamp guarantees an evidence-based go or no-go decision.

Get Feedback and Iterate Quickly

You’ll have support from LEANSTACK Certified Coaches who are trained to help you validate quickly, focus on traction, and move forward with clarity.

Real coaches. Real impact.

Our coaches are not just trainers, but also founders, incubator managers, and Angel Investors who wear your (and your prospective investors') shoes.

We partnered with LEANSTACK to provide you with the knowledge necessary to get you fromconcept to paying customers.

Sophie is more than just a lean startup coach; she's a genuine partner in building a successful business.  I was struggling to navigate the complexities of launching my startup in Qatar, and Sophie, using the practical wisdom from Ash Maurya's "Running Lean," provided exactly the guidance I needed.

She understood the challenges of entrepreneurship – the doubts, the setbacks, the moments of sheer exhilaration.  She fostered a supportive environment where I felt comfortable asking questions, sharing my concerns, and celebrating even the smallest of victories.

Thanks to Sophie's coaching, I'm confident in my startup's direction and feel equipped to handle whatever challenges lie ahead.

She's not just a coach; she's an invaluable mentor who helped me build not just a business, but a strong foundation for future success.

Sophie has been a great coach in my startup journey showing the bigger picture and how to think bigger as I went along. I have gotten great insights from her in the Lean startup program and help into how to further better my startup and myself as a person.

Really grateful to have had the chance to be mentored by Sophie in the LSP which has been a huge reason that has allowed me to advance and reach the finals.
Fares Mahmoud
Co-Founder, Agricope
Working with Sophie has been immensely valuable for me and my startup, Guide My World.

As a founder, I face so many challenges that can feel overwhelming, but Sophie’s coaching gave me the clarity and direction I needed. She helped me focus on what truly matters, offering strategic advice and a fresh perspective that made a real difference.

Sophie’s approach is not just practical, but also deeply supportive
—she helped me build confidence in my decisions and navigate tough moments.

I’m so grateful for her support and would recommend her to any entrepreneur looking to take their business to the next level.
Alyona
Co-Founder, Guide My World
She is passionate about boosting ideas into profitable businesses.
