Accelerating startups through milestones and consistent growth
The program uses Gritd's Startup Framework© as the basis for supporting innovative companies. The Framework allows us to measure a company's growth through milestones. Through thorough market validation, startups know better what to do to capture more market share and grow to the next milestone. Consistently growing startups focus on reaching the next milestone. Therefore, they grow faster and more value is created. This reduces the risk of failure and gives them a competitive advantage .
