For educators and accelerator programs
Turn startup theory into decisions students can defend.
Run a practical venture lab that moves from market signals to explicit assumptions and operating tradeoffs. Students do the thinking; StartupQuestion gives the work a structure.
A practical venture lab
One sequence, three learning modes
Explore
Use public concepts and market signals to choose a problem space.
Examine
Turn a company or domain into assumptions students can challenge.
Decide and reflect
Run the 24-month simulation, then defend the choices in a scorecard review.
The formation journey
Move from curiosity to informed action.
Choose your path
Build the assignment around the learning goal.
Use one activity for a workshop or connect all three as a course sequence.
01
Teach opportunity analysis
Students inspect a familiar company, identify assumptions, and write the questions that would change their view.
Analyze a startup02
Teach founder judgment
Students operate a company through 24 months of product, people, runway, and financing tradeoffs.

Run a managed cohort
Create a course, share an enrollment code, and give each participant a clear place to begin.
Open the course workspaceWhat is available
Start small, then add program structure.
Individual activities are available without an institutional rollout. When you need course administration, privacy review, or a larger cohort, we scope that explicitly.
- One complete Founder Simulation run per participant account
- Public concept exploration and company analysis for pre-work
- Course creation and enrollment codes for paid professor accounts
- Program support for cohort sizing, schedule, and privacy requirements
