Why Our Training?

Startup experts agree that great execution leads to success. But most founders struggle with long lists of unfamiliar tasks. Random hacks or disorganized tips & tricks don't produce healthy startups. Founders need help to transform high-level concepts into real-world business improvements. We fixed these problems with the following:

Better Curriculum

Structured training organized into a repeatable process / methodology.

More Breadth & Depth

Not just a few high-level ideas. Broad, low-level blueprints.

Actionable Tools

Color-by-numbers templates to implement best practices.

Visual Learning

Improves learning by 400%. No one learns calculus from a fireside chat.

Don't Ignore the Savings in Legal Fees!

Several of our training classes cover key concepts that founders usually learn in billable meetings with their startup attorney. Learning these concepts in advance can reduce founder legal bills, focusing budgets on higher-value legal matters.

With partner-level billing rates, saving just 1.5 hours in legal fees can pay for the entire Pro training!

Hard Work Ahead!

DISCLAIMER: Startups are hard. They require a ton of skill, expertise, and commitment. We don’t believe in quick hacks or simple tips and tricks that purport to bring success. There is no “get rich quick” method to building a company. Even with great training and tools, most startups still run a very high risk of failure. Many startup variables such as the team, timing, idea, business model, funding, and your ability to work hard and persevere can have a dramatic impact on your success.

Fundable Startups is designed to provide support and guidance to help entrepreneurs move forward faster and better. But we cannot and do not guarantee any specific outcome from our ideas, information, training, or tools. We worked very hard to execute well and achieve our results in our previous startups and cannot guarantee similar results, as there are many factors beyond our control. Examples and scenarios are illustrative only, or represent past results that have no bearing or promise on future performance.

Fundable Startups, Execution Matters, LLC, and our coaches or instructors provide any and all resources and tools as-is with all faults and without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. This disclaimer is necessary because the content and tools are offered for a comparatively low price. If the purchaser desires any type of warranty, then a commercially reasonable price would be at least one to two orders of magnitude higher.

None of our resources, content or tools are meant to serve as financial, legal, tax, investment, or management advice for your specific situation. We provide general information only. You are strongly advised to consult your own qualified counsel regarding any data, information, or decisions related to your particular situation. By using these resources and tools, you accept all risks and liabilities related to their use.

In summary, startups are very demanding and risky ventures. Most will fail. Your results will vary and depend on many factors, including but not limited to, the environment, your background, experience and work ethic.  If these terms are not acceptable, please do not use or purchase our services or products.

If any conflicts exist between the summary disclaimer here and the definitive terms of use, the terms will control.
