FAQ
About this series
Can I take both? What order should I do them in?
Yes, you can apply to each course separately. We'd suggest Foundations first, then Advanced: Foundations turns your idea into a first working model, and Advanced then rebuilds that model into a VC's point of view and puts it in front of real investors for a stress test. If you already have a company, a model, and are actively raising, you can apply straight to Advanced.
What's the actual difference between the two?
It comes down to your stage. Foundations (NT$1,000/team) is for idea-stage and MVP-stage founders and complete finance beginners, focused on "building your first model from zero" and "using it to simulate decisions." Advanced (NT$2,000/team) requires a formally registered company with real operating data or a clear plan, focused on "rebuilding a model investors will buy" and "defending it in front of real investors." The three questions above will point you to the right one.
Does a team need to be two people?
Both courses are priced per team, up to 2 members each — applying solo works too. If you have a co-founder you make decisions with, bring them along; both Foundations' scenario planning and Advanced's investor pitch work better with two people on stage.
Where is it held? In person or online?
Both courses are in-person, hands-on sessions from 19:00–21:00. Foundations venue: ; Advanced venue: . Both courses are taught in Mandarin.
What happens if it's full?
Each course is strictly capped at 5 teams. If Foundations is full, you'll get priority for the next cohort; if Advanced is full, you'll automatically move to the priority waitlist.
