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

HOW: The three-month program consists of six to eight participating companies meeting for six, four-hour Wednesday 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. All companies enjoy a three-month USC intern to help with acceleration. Space is limited.

WHEN: The six Wednesday 4-hour evening workshop schedule is:

Workshop 1 - What is Blockchain, importance of the white paper// Creating a globally minded company,

Workshop 2 - Blockchain nuts and bolts, including the dashboard// Cross cultural skills for a global business,

Workshop 3 - Blockchain types// Marketing to investors, selling and marketing to global customers,

Workshop 4 - Legal, regulatory, tax and accounting essentials for Blockchain companies,

Workshop 5 - Smart contract// Finance (Crowdfunding and VC),

Workshop 6 - Web 3.0 stack, cyber security// Customer care, operations management, banking and foreign exchange.

HOW MUCH: The program fee is $5K and co-founders or additional reps are welcome for $750 each. Space is limited. Light meals served.

WHAT IF: Due to the realities of startups and early-growth companies, nobody can guarantee success. However, if after three months, a cohort 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.
