Level up from founder to company builder. This intermediate program from Ucanly is built for practitioners with an existing venture and at least a few real users or customers, taking them into serious traction and fundraising: measuring product market fit with retention curves and the Sean Ellis test, and startup metrics including CAC, LTV, and payback period. In your minor project in week five, you will build and run a real growth engine with an instrumented funnel, three live experiments, measured CAC and retention, and an evidence backed growth thesis. You will build repeatable sales processes for both founder led and B2B sales, understand the fundraising landscape including SAFEs, term sheets, and cap tables, and build legal and team foundations including ESOPs and hiring. You will graduate having become fully fundraise ready in your week ten major project, with a financial model, cap table, data room, traction narrative, and a live pitch and diligence grilling delivered to Ucanly mentors acting as investors.
