From your expertise to a market-tested offer.

No. What matters is not formal incorporation, but that you bring relevant expertise and a concrete B2B idea, initial client work or an early business model. Legal structure and formal incorporation are not part of the Sprint.

You do not need a finished offer. It should, however, be more than a loose possibility: you can describe the expertise you bring, the problem you believe exists and the market in which you want to build something. If the fundamental direction is still open, the Transition Sprint is the better entry point.

Yes. The three Co-Creation offers are different entry points, not a mandatory sequence. If your venture direction is concrete enough and you are prepared to test it in the market, you can begin directly with the Venture Acceleration Sprint.

Yes. A fixed founder duo of no more than two people can participate together. Both work on the same venture, attend the sessions together and remain responsible for one shared outcome. Parallel individual coaching or resolving fundamental partner conflicts is not included.

During the approximately 3.5-hour Venture Assessment and kick-off, we clarify your expertise, idea, motivation, resources and key assumptions. We define the Sprint objective and validation plan. The kick-off takes place remotely or in person by agreement.

You speak with people who genuinely match your prioritised target audience. The conversations explore the problem, urgency, language, existing alternatives and buying barriers. In addition, you bring your concrete offer into at least one real decision situation — for example through a pilot invitation, pricing conversation or actual proposal. Positive but non-committal feedback alone is not a market test.

Then the Sprint has fulfilled an important purpose. We examine the signals clearly and decide whether the target audience, problem, offer or price should change — or whether a conscious stop is the wiser decision. The objective is not validation at any cost, but a viable decision.

In addition to the shared sessions, plan for approximately 3–5 hours per week. You will need this time for preparation, customer conversations, offer tests and the agreed implementation. Without this real-world work, the Sprint cannot deliver its intended outcome.

We agree on one shared communication channel per venture. You send one short structured progress update per week and may ask brief clarification or embodiment questions related to the agreed Sprint steps. Up to two additional 20-minute check-ins are also included across the full Sprint. SHIN generally responds within two working days. Permanent on-demand availability, additional workshops and extensive document editing are not included.

No. You develop a concise, testable Business Model Blueprint — not a comprehensive planning document for banks, funding bodies or investors. Website creation, branding, legal, tax and incorporation advice, and done-for-you sales are also outside the scope.

No. No credible process can guarantee another person's buying decision. The Sprint improves the quality of your assumptions, offer and next actions. Whether these lead to customers and revenue also depends on the market, the offer, your execution and the decisions of prospective customers.

The Transition Sprint helps you decide whether and where you want to move professionally. The Venture Acceleration Sprint assumes a concrete venture direction and helps you test whether it can become a viable market offer.

This is the first delivery of the newly packaged offer and is limited to two pilot ventures. Participants commit to active involvement and structured feedback at the end. A public testimonial or case study is not automatically part of that commitment.

In 25 minutes, we discuss your starting point, venture, expectations and willingness to engage in real market validation. You gain a clear view of the process, and we explore mutual fit. The call is free and comes with no obligation.
