cohor the
model
This year we introduced the first-ever ‘cohort model’ to support our ventures. The cohort model is a Ready stage program where founders at a similar stage were grouped together while moving through the venture-building process at IDEA. The cohort model has 3 primary objectives: 1. Increase sense of community between ventures 2. Increase speed when moving through the IDEA venture building process 3. Exposure to venture building resources at IDEA, Northeastern, and the Boston venture ecosystem For the 1st Cohort we had 13 ventures and the program ran for 6 weeks with 5 live virtual sessions. These sessions included: • 10+ Mosaic community representatives • 2 Go Stage ventures from IDEA • 2 members of the Boston entrepreneurship ecosystem joining from Glasswing Ventures and MassMutual Ventures 36
