Quatere

We identify promising creators of value and help them be productive. We organize them in focused groups to create opportunities, evaluate those opportunities and determine whether they fit their own skill sets. In this business inception program we teach precision execution, hypothesis testing, reporting and proper governance to our participants. Specifically, our participants produce an objectives and key results (OKR) document for their idea. Weekly they record their past progress, document new plans and identify problems. They evaluate their progress and review the corresponding documentation of their peers. With these peers the participants learn to run a short management meeting once a week amongst themselves. Bi monthly they have a project review with mentors where they learn planning, reporting and proper oversight. They also learn to run effective meetings – short, focused and objective driven. Social events are run by the participants themselves and are education focused, designed for the current problems that the entrepreneurs encounter. The ongoing program builds a powerful network. Participants in programs frequently reorganize their ideas and companies amongst their cohort peers. Alumni usually mentor newer entrants. Graduates frequently hire peers and newer members. We provide our participants with a map of local, national and international resources. These resources get leveraged in events, curriculum and mentors. Our program is resource light. Our participants run our programs, plan our educational events and identify needed curriculum. Our events leverage local, national and international experts. These guest speakers also build the entrepreneurship curriculum. Alumni select the next participants in the program. For new regions we provide a set of openly published documents and best practices to build their program. Frequently our alumni visit these new programs to coach the new directors. Sometimes our alumni become directors when they move to new regions and build programs of their own. Sometimes we provide money for these programs but typically they become funded by the region. We build a set of tools to help directors manage their programs and to help us measure their success. We also produce field shaping research in entrepreneurship which supports our other programs.
