This service is particularly useful if your team has limited founder experience and wants to build an entrepreneurially strong company. HippoMeter Company Building Sprint enables your team to diagnose its scaleup readiness, detect blind spots, agree on necessary actions, and get aligned on what all – and who all – you need to succeed. The sprint combines each key person’s independent work with tailormade hands-on sparring. It comprises up to 4 HippoMeter audits and up to 8 hours of personalised sparring sessions to check progress at relevant points of time. With sparring, we make sure the results are turned into actions, taking into account your team’s unique situation and any available mentors’ views. You get sparring on, (1) opportunity-ownership fit as pre-condition for sustainable product-market fit and go-to-market planning, (2) the impacts of financial instruments (e.g., grants, sweat equity, ESOP, SAFE) on scaleup potential, (3) CAP table as a key indicator of investor readiness, and (4) the elements of value-adding forms of scaleup governance. HippoMeter gives each key person a virtual learning journey and the sparring provides an upgrade of company building capacity to the whole team. A multiple-choice questionnaire by design, HippoMeter is an easy-to-use fully digital tool. Based on feedback from founders and mentors in over 20 countries, it’s eye-opening and converts hidden knowledge and insights into powerful actionable intel which cannot be gained in any other way. The sprint time span can be anything from 12 days to 12 months.
