Our Approach

Our Approach

Disruptors Co, in collaboration with the Lindfield Collaboration Hub, developed the Gap Blitz program to offer comprehensive and tailored support for startups. The program consisted of:
Diagnostic Process
  • Conducted thorough gap analysis to identify specific barriers for each startup.
  • Helped teams to develop action plans to address these barriers effectively.
Training and Coaching
  • Held an initial single day in-person immersion session, for intensive learning and strategic planning.
  • Provided weekly online sessions covering topics such as competitive landscape analysis, customer discovery, and business model refinement, supplemented by coaching sessions.
Peer Learning and Networking
  • Facilitated cohort-based learning sessions for startups to share experiences and learn collaboratively.
  • Concluded with a showcase event where startups presented to potential investors and industry customers.
