Run by Ann Arbor SPARK.
Held twice a year in Ann Arbor over an eight-week period, this boot camp puts teams through customer discovery to validate an idea: fewer than 40 hours are spent in session, but participants spend dozens of hours each week on discovery work and meet coaches twice weekly. Teams are expected to attend as a team rather than as solo founders. SPARK makes no investment and takes no equity stake; participants pay tuition, whose amount is not published.
