Fixing Everything Incubators Got Wrong.

What are the biggest problems with incubators? First, you spend months of your precious time preparing for a ten minute pitch. Then, they rob you of your equity for an unfair amount of liquid capital.

It is an ABSURD system.

What are your typical alternatives? An MBA course where you might meet some good connections but still spend two weeks doing work that’s only slightly more useful than high school.

Thank God, I had the good fortune of not avoiding Incubators… (But I had my own problems)

Fifteen years ago, I had no idea what I was doing as the CEO of Microtransponder, a company that has gone on to raise nearly $50M in capital.

Back then – we were unbelievably luck to get $10M in financing and grants!

The investors required I attend a monthly Vistage CEO coaching program. It was me and 10 other CEO’s sitting around a table.

They were in control of their lives, businesses, and investors.

While I was hectically SCRAMBLING around trying to stop by business from collapsing and my personal life from being pain… the rest of the table was genuinely happy.

How the hell did they do it?

I had a brief moment of clairvoyance:

“I’m a pretty smart guy. I’m a pretty hard worker. These guys are all older than me. Maybe they just KNOW something I don’t?”

And that coaching taught me that I was right… and the coach and all those other CEO’s had “earned their dues” in the CEO school of hard knocks.

But instead of having to go through BRUTAL months of illiquidity, failed negotiations, and getting screwed over because of not knowing startup law… I got to SKIP straight past all of that.

That coaching gave me the secrets.

And I befriended many of those CEO’s.

They served as mentors, and I’m still on good terms with them up until this day.

Some of the few things I learned were:

• Tools to help you set strategic plans
• How you can drive accountability
• The unfortunate truth about growing sales
• And… how to maintain a great personal life

After years of using their advice, I refined their practices and combined them with my own experiences. Challenges I’ve overcome include:

• Determining what your business should be focusing on
• Whether you should hire engineers or outsource development
• How the heck do you handle legal issues?
• Where do you find the money to pay for a top lawyer?
• And how to modify your schedule to become the best CEO possible every single day

What was I like before the coaching?

Stressed, thinking about the business at every waking second. Worried that my company would collapse and all my dreams would go straight into the trash. Like I wouldn’t be able to possibly learn everything I needed to learn, do all the tasks I needed to do, manage my employees in a way that made us win or raise the capital needed to grow the business.

And after?

I had a LIFELINE to success.

Whenever something happened, I could just call up one of my connections and they would tell me about a similar challenge they were dealing with.

Imagine if you could call your future self on the phone and ask for advice…

That is the coaching did for me.

Fast forward to today and I have developed a powerful combination of skills. I can quickly develop a strategy for most emerging technology companies and then execute.

How does this apply to you?

You can have the high-level knowledge battle-tested CEO’s use to be UNSTOPPABLE.

So, I created a way to transfer the best practices I’ve learned from the last 20 years of running emerging technologies into a program… CEO Launchpad™

And. you get to talk to me too.

CEO Launchpad Teaches You The Skills That Will MAKE or BREAK Your Business

These include:

Raising Capital (I know it sounds impossible, it’s actually very simple)

• STEP #1: Use the detailed technique to focus on the right things quickly
  STEP #2: Use the templates to quickly fill-in-the blanks
  STEP #3: Raise capital!

A Special Message For the Technical Co-founders Out There

• Do you have a solution/invention to a HUGE unmet need?
• Are you willing to learn the business side of the operation, but you just don’t know where to start?

Do NOT give away your shares to MBA’s who claim they can run your business. Treat them like gold and just learn how to talk to investors and run your ship all by yourself.

Don’t know anything about business? That’s an advantage. You can start from scratch with the most high quality information out there.

There’s no BS you need to unlearn and no false misconceptions slowing you down.

You Can use CEO Launchpad™ to manage and finance your tech startup as if you had decades of experience.

Part #1: Life-Saving Checklists

Professionals who use checklists make less mistakes and spend less time on routine tasks. More importantly, you get to avoid CATASTROPHIC mistakes on those days you haven’t slept and have to make big game time decisions.

It also makes your strategic planning and capital raise process predictable.

If you can follow a process, CEO Launchpad can eliminate the need to learn by your own failures and experiences

E.g. 300-point checklist to align product development, strategic planning and a capital raise to ensure you are working on the right things at the right time ($5000 Value)

Part #2: Money-Saving Templates

Creating documents from scratch is expensive and confusing. Forget about design costs, you wouldn’t believe how quickly lawyers can get.

By using our proven templates, you will save huge amounts of cash and get to avoid the expensive professional fees to finalize your business system and capital raise process.

FYI: If you just spend a few minutes running the numbers you will QUICKLY see that these templates alone make up for the ENTIRE price of the course.

(Estimated $25,000 savings)

Part #3: Be Involved

You don’t have time for a course. They are expensive, waste time, and generic.

What you need is someone with REAL WORLD experience to answer the specific challenges you are dealing with.

Will has launched and financed a number of hi-tech start-ups, he holds 6 graduate degrees and will be available to help you every step of the way.

E.g. Guided coaching on the checklists with Live Q+A weekly with me and a group of like-minded entrepreneurs and instructors who have raised $80M+. ($10,000+ in free consulting)

Those are the biggest items you will get when you join.

But as one of my students said, the best thing about CEO Launchpad™ is that it teaches you EVERYTHING you didn’t know you needed.

There’s so much about being a CEO that you don’t understand until you are in very particular situations AKA when you are dealing with some of the hardest problems out there.

When those challenges are about to punch you in the face, you’ll be happy you can bounce ideas off proven CEO’s.

So for once… you have an easy decision as CEO.
