The vision of STEP is simple yet profound: to bridge the gap between potential and success for startups that have moved beyond the post-revenue stage but are struggling with technical debt, growth hacking, marketing, and other critical areas. How? By giving them access to a large pool of professionally trained talent, strategic market advice from industry experts with years of experience, and a community with like-minded people and fellow founders. STEP ensures that these startups thrive by providing targeted intervention and strategic resources. STEP’s holistic approach provides support in multiple areas crucial for startup success. From offering technical assistance, and helping startups overcome technical debt and improve their product offerings to providing growth hacking strategies and tools to drive rapid growth and scale operations. Similarly, it offers marketing insights and resources to effectively market products, reaching the right audience and assisting startups in developing robust business strategies that ensure long-term success. Furthermore, STEP is committed to empowering individual talent and helping mentors attain fulfilment. It helps these individuals find meaningful work and fulfilment and fosters a culture of innovation and collaboration by connecting skilled professionals and experienced mentors with high-potential startups. This creates a dynamic ecosystem where startups, talent and mentors can thrive. However, to maintain the quality and impact of the program, STEP employs a rigorous selection process. Startups are evaluated based on their growth potential, market fit, and alignment with STEP’s objectives. Thus, this ensures that only the most promising startups, ready to embrace transformative changes are chosen. The result is a cohort of high-potential startups primed for success.
