Do I need to be working on my project full time to participate?
No, but we believe that those who are putting more time into their startups today are in a position to benefit more from this program.
What is the application process?
The deadline to apply as a fellow is February 7th. After that, we will be reviewing applications and reaching out via email about next steps. The latest you should expect to hear back from us by is February 27th.
Why isn’t this open to everyone?
Within this community, we want cohort fellows to develop deep connections with each other which is why we are keeping this to a smaller size. We have found that this generally allows members to more openly share their experiences and learnings with the rest of the community. Eventually we plan on growing this community out, but for now we are starting small.
What is the expected commitment for Build Sprint fellows?
We expect Build Sprint fellows to commit to around 8 hours a week during the program. Here’s what a typical week might look like:
6+ hrs – building & working towards your goal (independent)
1 hr – attending a weekly mastermind
1 hr – checking in with Sprint Buddy & mentor
Is this a fully remote program?
Yes, the core community will be hosted on Slack & Zoom. We might do in-person meetups for co-working sessions if we think it is safe to do so.
Is this community only open to CMU alumni?
Yes! This is an exclusive community for CMU alum.
Who runs CMU Build Sprint?
The CMU T&E organizers! Specifically Anant, Barun, Greg, Doug, Qin, Rachel and Steven
Who should I reach out to with further questions?
We will be hosting 2 info sessions for a deeper dive on the program and Q&A. If you would like to directly speak to someone, feel free to reach out to Doug (douglaszqian@gmail.com)
