About the Program
The Sinapis Entrepreneurship Training Program is a mini-MBA customised for startups & SMEs that includes 16 weeks of curriculum covering customer development, marketing and sales, finance & accounting, human resources & management, and operations. We teach entrepreneurs the essentials of what they need to know and do to start and grow a business.
Participants spend 6 hours each week in a highly interactive and practical class at our partner’s facility, spend 6 hours completing work on an online platform called My Entrepreneurial Journey from Acton School of Business in Austin, Texas USA and spend approximately 8 hours each week completing practical fieldwork assignments called milestones, which are directly related to what they’re learning in class.
Classes are interactive in nature with many case studies, debates, live simulation games, problem sets and videos and we only teach extremely practical & actionable material & force you to apply concepts learned in your business.
Graduates are eligible to compete in our business plan competition for a grand prize of USD 10,000 and a spot in our accelerator program, Fast Track Fellows.
