Institute of Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurs excel at experimenting and creating new ways of doing everything from product development to forming direct relationships with customers to using generative AI to become more resourceful. Through this work, we have developed unique methods for identifying and validating new ideas and growing them into new ventures or initiatives.

Automagicals.

Entrepreneurs we know who are both happy and successful tend to also be very resourceful. They do a lot with a little. In the past few years we have internally started to productize this behavior into what we call Automagicals.

Automagicals are small modules built on top of AI that make our work more effective. It ranges from small products/services that allow us to quickly do anything from ideation over user validation to optimizing personal tasks, like finding new books to read. What makes these Automagicals even more helpful is that they can be turned into small services that can be used/sold to others. We now offer these learnings, methods, and tools to individuals and corporate partners.

Fellowship.

The prehype Fellowship program is for second-time founders who are in their ‘in between time’. In the program, the entrepreneur gets to explore, validate and prepare for the launch of a new venture. The Institute uses prehype's frameworks, its network of fellow entrepreneurs, and its access to capital to support a Fellow and help turn ideas into reality.
