Free Public Roundtables Vs 1Mby1M Premium Program

4. What’s the difference between the Free Public Roundtables and the Premium program?

The Free Public Roundtables and the 1Mby1M Premium program offer different levels of engagement and resources. The free roundtables serve as an introduction to the program’s methodology, while the Premium program is the full-fledged accelerator experience.

Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:

Free Public Roundtables:

• Purpose: The primary purpose is to introduce entrepreneurs to the 1Mby1M methodology and allow them to get a taste of the mentorship style.
• Content: You can attend these weekly online sessions as an observer and listen to other entrepreneurs pitch their businesses and receive feedback from Sramana Mitra.
• Participation: You are generally limited in your ability to pitch your own business. While you can pitch once at a free roundtable, you cannot do so on a regular basis. The goal is more about listening and learning from others’ experiences.
• Resources: You get a basic introduction to the program’s philosophy, but you do not have access to the full curriculum or private resources.

1Mby1M Premium Program:

• Purpose: The Premium program is a comprehensive, structured accelerator designed to provide ongoing support and a clear path to building a successful business.
• Content: You get unlimited access to a detailed, self-study curriculum that includes video lectures, case studies, and playbooks covering topics like positioning, customer acquisition, and financing.
• Mentorship: This is the core of the Premium program. You can participate in private, weekly mentoring roundtables where you receive direct, strategic advice and feedback on your specific business. This allows you to work with Sramana Mitra on a regular basis to refine your strategy and tackle challenges.
• Investor Introductions: When your business is at a stage where it is “fundable” (meaning it has a solid foundation with customers and revenue), the program will make introductions to relevant angel investors and VCs.This is a key benefit of the Premium program and is not offered through the free roundtables.
• Community: You become part of a private community of other entrepreneurs in the program, which provides an additional layer of networking and learning.

In short, the free roundtables are a great starting point for you to see if the program’s style and philosophy are a good fit. The Premium program is for those who are ready to commit to a structured process and want to receive personalized, ongoing mentorship and a full suite of resources to build their company.
