What is the size of the cohort in this accelerator?

Accepted Answer

We're admitting only 20 participants in Pro track to enable us to support each of you personally as well as your team. We plan to have 4-5 teams each having between 2-3 members in the Pro Cohort

Question 6

What is the difference between the 3 Tracks

Accepted Answer

All the 3 tracks are backed with our PMDojo method and curriculum. We designed these unique tracks because we believe that everyone's career journey and learbing style and needs are different. One size cannot fit all.   The key differences are as follows:   Core Track: Our participants decide on the problem spaces to explore in the program. You will go from problem to launch in 10 weeks while collaborating with a diverse team.   Industry Track: Our participants get to work on a problem space that one of our partner companies have. So imagine yourself as being immersed as a Product Manager or a Designer at a real company helping them solve a real problem and launching a product for that company. Its pretty cool.   Lite Track: This is designed for those prefer learning in a self guided format and need more flexibility. If you are based in a timezone that has no overlap with US/Canada making it extremely challenging for you to participate, then consider the Lite Track   Still unsure, send us a quick email at teampmdojo@gmail.com

We recommend that in order to get the most value from our Product Accelerator, you should spend anywhere between 10-15 hours/week. This includes everything from team-work, self study, all workshops and sessions, meeting with mentor. Time management and planning is key to optimize the time taken.

Question 8

Do I need to have a team to be able to join?

Question 9

Is this accelerator in-person or online?

Accepted Answer

We are still practicing social distancing and also want to make our accelerator inclusive globally. Hence we have deliberately decided that we want to be time zone friendly. As long as you and your team members can work in overlapping/similar timezones, we will attempt to match you with a mentor in your timezone. Any of live Q&A sessions will be recorded so you can still watch when it is convenient for you. Additionally we are always in Slack should you need us.

Question 10

Can I get a refund if I'm unable to attend?

Accepted Answer

At this time, you can transfer your seat to another person. This is because we would have already sourced mentors and industry panels based on our enrolment.
