You know it. Growth marketing is the new marketing. I know it, you know it, and the world’s biggest brands know it. And frankly, they just can’t meet the demand fast enough. There’s just too much to do and too few people who know how to do it!
So those big brands – IBM, Adobe, and Delta – are partnering with the Growth Marketing Conference 2016 to fill their staffing gaps.

There is no doubt that Steve Case, the founder of AOL and Chairman of Time Warner, is a brilliant businessman. I wish I could say the same for his book: The Third Wave.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good book. But it’s not great. There’s nothing in this book that grabbed me. The ideas were all things I’ve heard before.
The honest, critical mentoring and feedback we received at Founders Space accelerated our company by months, if not years. We were able to modify our story so we found the best product-market-fit for our technology. There are many components that go into making a start-up successful, and Founders Space helps you cultivate all of them. These include, the problem you are addressing, the solution, the benefits, the market, business model and finally the team.
There is a very special and constructive dynamic between Capt Hoff, Naomi, Steve Austin, the mentors, instructors and start-ups. We are very lucky to be part of this important platform.

The 2-week experience at Founders Space was worth its cost in spades. The knowledge we gained from the teachers and mentors truly accelerated our start-up, I believe, at least a year in terms of finding clarity and focused direction, that we simply could not find here in Canada.
They say Canadians are nice, but I think Silicon Valley-ers are super friendly eh! The contacts we met and were connected to were extremely helpful and open. Definitely would recommend any foreign Start-Ups to join Founders Space.

Forget about 3-months accelerators. Founders Space gives you in 2 weeks more than any other. This program prepares you for the real startup life so that you’ll understand exactly how the things work in the Silicon Valley. It was an exhausting, stressful and intense adventure, but I don’t regret anything.

First of all, I would like to personally thank Steven Hoffman, Naomi Kokubo, and Steve Austin for the great program and amazing arrangement at Founders Space.
I know Steven Hoffman since 2013 even before he started Founders Space and remember him telling me about his plan and showing me the space when it was still empty. Since then the time passed. I quit my job in VC business and decided to build my own startup.
I talked to several friends in the Bay Area who are also VC and many of them told me how good Founders Space is.
It was a great opportunity when we met Captain Hoff and joined the Founders Space startup boot camp in Taipei. He invited us to join the “Accelerator + Incubator Program” at Founders Space in San Francisco, and it really worked for our startup in short period of time.
Many startups from different countries came to the headquarters of Founders Space for two weeks of intensive incubation. Founders Space provided extensive training courses every single day with different mentors and instructors, including Umesh, Jonhson, Naomi, and Robin. All of them gave valuable help to us. We also learned a lot from other great startup teams in the program, and it pushed us to make our thoughts and vision clear.
We want to give special thanks to Steve Austin, the best coach at Founders Space. Catching the eye of investors is very important for startups, but it is very difficult to show the whole value of a pioneering biotech company in 3 minutes or 30 seconds. Based on coach Austin’s practical advice, we succeeded in displaying our core value to the audience on the demo day. Furthermore, Steve not only teaches us, but also wants to help with our business strategy in the future. We appreciate Founders Space!
