Our 12-week programme is designed to get entrepreneurs and tech-teams moving as quickly as possible on the BSV blockchain with lots of hard work, fun and hustle.
Starting a technology business is a mass of moving parts where founders typically find themselves needing to do multiple core tasks simultaneously and therefore find it difficult to focus on any single activity.
Hence the mission of the Satoshi Block Dojo is to cover off the multitude of tasks other than the product or solution so that the start-ups can progress at their fastest possible pace.
We therefore want to fast track the development of the solution so that they can rapidly iterate their product to produce an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) in the shortest possible time. The key components of what the Satoshi Block Dojo provides are:
We support, nurture and guide teams by creating a productive and engaging environment to learn and create great projects in, and with excellent Mentors, similar to incubator and accelerator programmes like Techstars.

Week 0: Welcome
