Description
It's unreasonable to expect someone to play baseball without knowing the rules yet every day future founders begin brining their ideas to life without a playbook. This course is just the playbook you need and was designed from over 20 years of building, coaching, and consulting with founders, entrepreneurs, and corporate innovation departments. In this course, future founders will get from idea to MVP (minimum viable product) in 90 days or less without wasting valuable time, resources and money…all while taking care of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
Starting a new SaaS or mobile app business can be an incredibly rewarding and lucrative opportunity. It can also be incredibly challenging and stressful work. If you've never done it before the list of "unknown unknowns" is very long and complicated. Without a clear plan and roadmap, new founders often spend hundreds of wasted hours doing research, completing meaningless tasks, and making unnecessary mistakes.
Who this course is for:
- Future & Experienced Founders
- Entrepreneurs & Wantrepreneurs
- Intrapraneuers
- Corporate Innovation Leaders
- High School & College Students
- Coding Bootcamp & Hackathon Participants

Gv Freeman is an internationally recognized speaker, author and instructor with over 20 years of experience living in the center of a product, marketing, sales & self-care Venn diagram. He is currently the founder and principal at okapi, an event program management platform built to collect, manage, and analyze event-based activities and data. He is also the founder of the Software Field Manual and the Product Founder's Journey, an educational non-profit and training course that helps share wisdom and best practices for emerging tech companies and humans that build them.
Gv embodies the philosophy that work-life balance is bullsh*t and he frequently blurs the line between business and mindfulness by incorporating self-care into his work, life, teaching, and consulting practices. Gv, formerly known as Shane, adopted his new name when it was gifted to him by one of his teachers. For Gv, who is a dedicated Yogi, accepting the gift of this name (Gv is short for Govind Dass) serves as an ever-present reminder that we can’t go back and make a brand-new start but we can start from now and make a brand-new end. In his spare time, Gv is a spiritual tourist, travels the world, attends as many concerts as possible, and loves spending time with friends and soul family.
