What Does It Cost?
The cost of a Business Sprint depends on the size and scope of your vision, as well as the level of involvement you’d like us to have in the partnership.
We understand that every context is unique. With this in mind, we work collaboratively to ensure that you have an appropriate level of investment and ownership in the project.
Your financial commitment will be proportionate to the scale and needs of your Business Sprint, taking into account factors such as location, number of participants, duration of the sprint, and specific support requirements. As a streamlined initiative, costs for a Business Sprint are significantly lower than those of a full training program and typically range from $2,500 to $5,000.
While Hope Ventures can provide guidance on fundraising and resource planning, we believe that every worthwhile venture requires shared commitment and investment.
