An academy membership bundles cohort-based workshops, tools, and coaching that help you systematically validate and grow your idea.
Learn by doing.
Delivered 100% virtually.
Participate from anywhere in the world.
Yes, the early stage is uncertain but it doesn't have to be messy. LEANSTACK helps you systematically go from your Plan A to plan that works before running out of resources.
We built LEANSTACK Academy for early stage entrepreneurs, innovators, and product managers seeking to level up and build the next generation of products that matter.
Membership includes participation for your founding team in 2 cohort-based workshops per year and ongoing access to our stage-based playbooks, tools, community, and coaching that help you systematically validate and grow your idea.
Cohort-based workshops are delivered over 4 weeks and combine best-in-class entrepreneurial education with deliberate practice and external accountabilty where you learn by doing. Membership includes participation for your founding team (of up to 5 people) in 2 workshops per year. See our workshops
Beyond the workshops, our step-by-step playbooks teach you how to systematically validate and grow your idea to product/market fit. These playbooks are built on a battle-tested curriculum that is also taught in many of the top universites and accelerators around the world.
Our proven software tools (Lean Canvas, Traction Roadmap, Customer Forces Canvas, and Sprint Board) help you put everything you learn to practice with your team.
You'll be invited to monthly fireside chats hosted by Ash Maurya, author and creator of the Lean Canvas, where he'll answer your questions, feature other guest experts, and go deeper on specific concepts and tactics.
You'll be part of a growing community of like-minded entrepreneurs, innovators, and product managers going through a similar journey and get to learn from each other using our built-in community tools.
We take a non-traditional approach to entrepreneurship which is isn't for everyone.
If you haven't read our Continuous Innovation manifesto, I'd recommend checking that out first. And then subscribing to our free Continuous Innovation Series at the bottom of that page.

We believe that great products require great teams which is why an academy membership includes access for up to 5 people working on the same project by default. Even if you're starting as a solo-founder the workshops alone pay for the cost of membership and you'll never have a pay anything extra as you grow your team.
For the same reason that we attend schools and universities, or elite athletes hire coaches -- for experience, advice, community, and external accountability.
