MENTORDAY SPRINT

In a mentorDay's acceleration programme, entrepreneurs participate in a process of sprints designed to boost their projects. Each day of the week is dedicated to a different sprint, with the aim of improving different aspects of the project and moving towards business success.

The sprints to be carried out during the week are as follows

• Monday: Business model validation sprint.
• Tuesday: Business model feasibility sprint.
• Wednesday: Growth and sales sprint.
• Thursday:Funding and Investor Sprint.
• Friday: Competitive strategy sprint.

Each sprint focuses on a specific objective, and is repeated three times over three weeks, to ensure that entrepreneurs have enough time and practice to make progress on each of them. In a nutshell, mentorDay's sprint process helps entrepreneurs to improve different aspects of their project, and provides them with the tools and skills necessary to achieve business success.

Advantages of sprints

Sprints have several advantages in an entrepreneurship acceleration programme, among them:

1. Focus and concentration: Sprints help entrepreneurs focus on a specific goal for a specific period of time, allowing them to concentrate on specific tasks and achieve results more quickly.
2. Flexibility: Sprints allow entrepreneurs to be flexible and adapt quickly to changes and challenges that arise during the acceleration process. If one strategy is not working, they can change course in the next sprint and try something new.
3. Constant feedback: At the end of each sprint, entrepreneurs receive feedback from mentors and experts, allowing them to adjust their approach and continuously improve their project.
4. Increased motivation: The structure of the sprints and the feeling of achieving concrete goals in a short period of time can motivate entrepreneurs to keep going and maintain the momentum needed to achieve success in their business.
5. Accelerated learning: Sprints allow entrepreneurs to learn quickly from their mistakes and experiment with different strategies and approaches, which can accelerate their learning and the development of their business.

In a nutshell, sprints are a powerful tool for entrepreneurs in an acceleration programme, as they allow them to focus on concrete objectives, be flexible, receive constant feedback, maintain motivation and accelerate their learning and business development.

Inspired by the Google sprint

The sprints used in mentorDay are inspired by the Google Sprint methodology, which was developed by the Google Ventures design team. This methodology is used to accelerate the process of bringing products and services to market, and has proven very effective in creating innovative products. The Google Sprint methodology consists of five phases that take place over a period of five days. During these five days, the working team focuses on a specific goal, and each day is dedicated to a specific task to move towards that goal. On mentorDay We have adapted this methodology to our way of working, dividing the sprints into five days a week, and focusing on specific objectives that are relevant to the entrepreneurs. The sprints are carried out in three cycles of three weeks each, so that adjustments and improvements can be made according to the results obtained.

The advantage of using this methodology is that it is a structured process focused on specific objectives, which allows rapid progress to be made in the development of the project and results to be obtained in a short period of time. Moreover, by focusing on specific objectives, entrepreneurs can measure their progress and make adjustments in real time to improve their results.
