Why this workshop

Why your college students need the Startup Workshop

Student founders and incubated startups rarely have marketing budgets. This session teaches growth that costs time, not money — so early teams get their first customers faster.

Book for your college →

Growth on a student budget

Low-cost channels — search, social, community and partnerships — that work for very early startups.

Go-to-market for incubated teams

A simple plan for who to target first, what to say and where to find them.

The first 100 customers

Practical steps to win early users, collect feedback and turn them into testimonials and referrals.

Metrics investors ask about

Students learn which numbers matter — traction, cost per lead, retention — and how to track them.

AI tools for lean teams

How a two-person team can produce content, research and reports in hours instead of days.

Real case studies

Examples from startups and small businesses Akash has worked with — what worked, and what did not.
