One programme, two doors
Proving Ground.
Eight weeks inside a founder’s office. You make real calls, operators mark them against a published standard, and you leave with proof of how you think, not a certificate that says you attended.
A proving ground is where something is tested before it is trusted in the field. That’s the promise, stated as a place rather than a claim.
Common to everyone
Whichever door, the same standard.
The simulations
Fourteen real founder’s-day decisions. You commit to a call under pressure; there is no answer key.
The marking
Operators score every call against 65 published rubrics. The same standard shows on your portfolio.
The proof
A portfolio of graded decisions and a standing an employer or investor can read in ten seconds.
Choose your door
