Brian understands how to distill big ideas into actionable products — he’s got a 6th sense for understanding what people want. Any early stage startup that works with him will be miles ahead of where they would be working on their idea alone. Tacklebox saved me tons of time and tons of money. Probably thousands of dollars building a more refined prototype. I’m really grateful for how that turned out, and for the next idea, I have a set path for how to going about building a product from prototype to finish…

The roundtable discussions with other alumni and guest speakers are the single most important part of Tacklebox. It’s incredible how much you learn from other entrepreneurs that are going through the same process and, at the same time, how much accountability comes with sharing your weekly milestones with the rest of the class.
— Luis C. Gamardo, Leafwell
Tacklebox held me accountable, and made me do things that I probably wouldn't have done without someone making me. I likely wouldn't have made as much progress as quickly as I have without the help of Tacklebox.
—Rachael Dimit, Senior Manager of Consumer Research at Foot Locker
It just made me look at problems that I have and think through solutions to try. I didn’t realize I had those problems with user acquisitions, engagement and messaging.
The benefit is it’s very focused on customer acquisition which is the MOST important component to any startup. Tacklebox helps you break down and understand what you need to do in order to short term, acquire and long term grow your customer base.

Read MoreTacklebox provided the framework that forced me (internally) to take action since I would be the only one losing out by not working on it throughout the course.

Read MoreThe mentorship was great - just having someone to share ideas with who is emotionally invested is really valuable. Crystalizing how to move forward, test and learn about the space I'm in - getting me a little unstuck and providing a way to figure out what steps to take to learn by doing and not fearing moving forward.

Read MoreTacklebox helped to jumpstart me into action. The biggest blocker to starting working on my idea was myself, and the support, structure, and accountability helped me turn idea into action. There's nothing else like this. As a program, it seemed comprehensive, accessible, and actionable. The level of detail and quality of content is extremely high value. It exceeded my expectations.
— Kim Robinson, Senior Culture Marketing Manager at Red Bull
Read MoreI would truly recommend Tacklebox to anyone with an idea and even those in the MVP development stage. I chose Tacklebox because I needed help with the process of segmentation, testing, value proposition, and other things I knew I didn't know yet, but would require working with someone with experience and dedicated time.
— Fatmia Bocoum, Client Partner, Key Accounts at Statista
Tacklebox provided motivation to consistently work on the idea and defined steps for what to focus on in the short-term.
-Seth Verbeek, Head of Operations at Solgaard
Tacklebox helped me with accountability and a clear plan. It was really the kick in the pants I needed every week to ignite action! I would say, if you've got an idea or start-up that your stalling on or wanting guidance on, then Tacklebox is the place for you. It's basically a startup school.
