Rapid Entrepreneurial Accelerated Launch (R.E.A.L.)

At X Co it’s REAL time ALL the time

Overview

The X Co R.E.A.L™ program (Rapid Entrepreneurial Accelerated Launch) utilizes a three component system of development and acceleration, which combines group-based training, individual development, and peer-to-peer mentoring in order to give each company the foundations of entrepreneurship along with the skills and guidance to apply the various program topics to their particular businesses. The primary goal of the X Co R.E.A.L program is to ACCELERATE (not just educate) each company’s business in order to understand the topics presented and more critically understand how to apply each topic to their particular business.

Structure Overview

During the 16-week X Co R.E.A.L program, each major topic is broken out into 2-week modules. During these two weeks, each company follows the R.E.A.L program schedule in order to maximize learning and gain an understanding of how to apply the topic to their business. This allows each company the time it needs in various group settings, individual EIR guidance sessions, and the collegial peer-to-peer interaction on a daily basis at the X Co facility, to grasp concepts, apply them and present them. The program culminates in a pitch to Venture Capitalists, Angels, and other investors at the X Co facilities.

Our investment module is that we will invest $100K up to $250K per company.
