Founderval
Free weekly training programme for hungry entrepreneurs
After spending some months developing the Founderval training programme and website, I am putting it into the world to find its audience: https://www.founderval.com/
The site currently offers a free skills audit where entrepreneurs can identify their strengths and weaknesses in advance of beginning the training programme.
The programme is a weekly series of highly practical exercises that subscribers can practice to develop their business skills. The exercises cover 15 key areas of entrepreneurial competence, from creative thinking and self-efficacy to financial ability and leadership.
My initial focus is finding and building an audience of founders who value the training. I have prepared several months-worth of content in advance ready for first send.
I welcome comments and I would particularly appreciate your support sharing Founderval.

I think the key question for something like this is credibility. When YC or A16Z or individual prolific founder/VCs share advice or put together a presentation, people pay attention due to the obvious experience and success of the people doing the teacher.
Thanks @alchemist I take your point. This programme is slightly different in that it aims largely to provide exercises and resources we, as founders, can use to improve what is a very broad set of entrepreneurial competencies – from creative thinking to financial literacy to leadership and more. The source material is researched and credited, often from the kinds of teachers you mention. However the USP is around actionability. It aims to make highly practical suggestions of how you can strengthen your weakest areas.
