Sprint is a startup incubator that empowers entrepreneurs to quickly build and test a product. In a two-month sprint format, you will meet a team, build an MVP, and get market validation. If successful, fantastic carry on! If not, disband and move on.
Nikita Bier tweeted about how if he wanted to test an idea quickly he'd get together a small but great team and intensely focus on building/testing - if it's successful within two months, great! If not, the team disbands - no strings attached.
I think the idea resonates because of the lack of long-term commitment - so I put together this site to help entrepreneurs and builders get together to work on projects in this style. You can build and validate ideas and team mates without having to commit to them long-term.
Why is Sprint great?
- Work with high-quality people
- Could build a successful product
- Everyone is committed to viewing the project AS A PROJECT! (i.e. not a lifetime commitment...)
We're running a first batch from November 1st (limited to 100 Sprinters).
Thanks @kimihito_tanaka! I totally agree, Sprint aims to let makers get that product market fit before even worrying about other issues (getting the people, setting up legal structures etc) - because PMF should be the number 1 concern.
It wasn’t intended that people would start as a team, however it is possible! One team member would need to submit the idea which then becomes a listed project. Then other members would need to “apply to join” that project (the original member gets to decide who they let onto their project, so they can accept the request).
Would you prefer if joining as a team was an easier flow?
Hi there! I think this could be an incredibly powerful tool, if deployed in the right markets. I'm curious to know how much interest you've garnered for the first "batch" and where you're pulling from to fill slots/test?
Congrats on the launch!
