Upskilling · Cohort-based, 10 weeks

Understand how growth work gets done

Growth is a series of decisions about customers, positioning, channels and what to try next. This ten-week bootcamp helps people in growth and revenue teams make those decisions with greater understanding of African startup markets.

Experienced operators lead the modules and bring examples from products they have launched and scaled. You will work with frameworks, playbooks and case studies that connect go-to-market ideas to the choices a team must make in practice.

Learn how to

Create a product GTM and launch plan

Assess the product and its market, then use what you find to shape a launch plan.

Develop product positioning and messaging

Decide who the product is for, what matters to those customers and how to make that clear in your messaging.

Adapt and price products or services

Consider what customers value, how the market is changing and what those findings mean for pricing.

Run product experiments

Choose a question to test, define the measure that matters and learn from how different customers respond.

Create and manage a sales pipeline
