    USC Cohort Details

    WHERE: The IBA's ABCD+E cohort will take place at USC's Blackstone Launchpad within USC's Marshall School of Business.

     

    HOW: The three-month program consists of four to eight participating companies meeting for four, four-hour evening workshops with hands-on growth hacking and subject matter expert presenters. Weeks without workshops feature one-on-one coaching for OKRs, KPIs and benchmark progress.

     

    WHO: Workshops feature hands-on work with IBA staff as well as expert presenters and industry experts. Founders and key BizDev employees should attend. Companies may enjoy a three-month USC intern to help with acceleration. Space is limited.

     

    Workshop 1 - Export Readiness, Market Identification, Research

    Workshop 2 - Legal and Accounting

    Workshop 3 - Finance and Funding

    Workshop 4 - Sales, Marketing and Market Entry

     

    HOW MUCH: Your investment into growth via this program is five thousand dollars for co-founders and additional team members are welcome. Space is limited. Scholarships may be available.

     

    WHAT IF: Due to the realities of startups and early-growth companies, nobody can guarantee success. However, if after three months, a company doesn't make that first international deal or doesn't build out the technology to do so, the IBA support will remain available until that first international deal is secured.
