Entrepreneurship Development Platform

How we built a comprehensive platform that made Seedstars' mentorship program more practical and data-driven

Project idea

Transform Seedstars' traditional mentorship approach into a digital-first, data-driven platform that could scale their entrepreneurship capacity building globally. The goal was to create a practical tool where entrepreneurs could validate business ideas through structured experiments while mentors could track progress and provide targeted guidance based on real data.

The challenges

Program scalability - Manual mentorship methods couldn't serve entrepreneurs across multiple emerging markets effectively
Lack of structure - Entrepreneurs needed clear frameworks for testing and validating business ideas
Progress tracking difficulty - No systematic way to measure mentor-entrepreneur engagement and outcomes
Theory vs practice gap - Traditional business education wasn't translating into actionable startup skills
Global coordination - Managing consistent program quality across different regions and mentors

The solutions

Interactive business canvas with drag-and-drop tools for entrepreneurs to map and iterate their business models
Hypothesis-driven framework allowing systematic testing of business assumptions with experiment tracking
Gamified learning paths with points, challenges, and leaderboards to increase engagement
Team collaboration features enabling mentors and co-founders to work together effectively
Comprehensive analytics providing insights into entrepreneurial progress and program effectiveness
Skills development tracking helping entrepreneurs identify and develop key competencies
