I wonder at the design of this program and what incentive the is to join: ...The Growth Program is designed for companies with between 50 – 150 employees that are scaling rapidly. Ideal candidates are companies that expect to double employees, revenue, customers, etc in the next year of operation.... Why would I spend 3 months of my time (time I could apply to running my company), if I already had this level of success ? Plus, no promise of a funding round. What am I missing ?

> What am I missing ? You're missing that scaling beyond that requires knowledge and experience that you're not going to collect while 'training on the job'.

One doesn't just coast after entering that phase of growth, there is a completely new and very real set of problems and challenges to face. If I were running a company with 100 employees and I expected that to double in the next year, I'd want all of the help I could get. I'd have no reason to believe that this would be any less difficult than the earlier stage of that company.

It’s not 3 months. It’s one evening a week over 3 months.
