Sprout - your Market Entry & Scaling program
Have you just entered the market with your innovative product or service, or do you have a realistic plan for how you will do so in the near future? Then you’ve come to the right place at Sprout.
Sprout is PLNT’s community program with a physical workspace. During this program, you will receive feedback from fellow entrepreneurs and individual coaching to help you reach your commercial milestones. This program has no set training sessions. Instead, you will focus on raising funding and scaling up sales independently. Time to move from strategy to execution!
Here's what you can expect
During Sprout, you will work and participate in several activities:
- You create a 1-year commercial milestone plan and execute it with the help of your scale-up coach.
- You participate in community reflection sessions every two weeks with the other Sprout startups to learn from and support each other.
- You rent an affordable flex workspace or office at PLNT and get access to all facilities – including a large (partner) network of lawyers and investors, among others – and community events.
Costs
- A fixed amount of €100 per month per startup
- + variable costs for your preferred workspace, at a heavily discounted rate.
- Flex desks cost €135 per month, office rent depends on size and is subject to availability
They preceded you
The nice thing about this program is that you are not alone. Yep, you get free colleagues. Together with other Sprouters, you commit to achieving your commercial milestones throughout the year.
Is Sprout something for you?
To participate in Sprout, there are a few entry criteria:
- You have a scalable product or service based on technological or scientific innovation (no consultancy or simple e-commerce businesses).
- You have validated who your customers are, problem-solution fit and all other critical assumptions underlying your business model.*
- You have a realistic go-to-market plan and are ready to execute.*
- Your founder team has the technical skills needed to continue developing the product without reliance on external tech dev parties (single founders also welcome).*
- Minimum weekly time commitment to the startup of 24 hours per cofounder, moving towards full-time.
*If you still need some help with any of these entry criteria, our program Venture Academy might be a better fit for you.
