Yes. We ask everyone who joins the programme to agree on the terms and conditions which clearly state that will be legal actions taken in case of intellectual infringement.
You will have access to the programme material for six months from the first day you login. Each week during the programme the new content for that week will be shared with you. Once you have access to it you will be able to continue to review the content throughout the programme. We know that as you will go on your journey you will want to revisit elements of the learning when different things spark for you.
The programme will be available online for you to access at any time, and you will be able to download the resources such as templates, reading materials but you will not be able to download the videos. These are accessed through the learning platform. All resources are the intellectual property of Rainmaking.
No. This is a training programme designed to help you to develop the mindset and skills and access the tools and resources to build a business. We provide you with the support to bring your idea to life. You can use those skills in any way you want or need to in the future.
The deadlines are intended to help keep you on track, to make sure you are successful in the programme and reach your goals. We think the access to the learning resources for six months should give you a lot of time to absorb the content and apply the learning to your idea and launch a business.
Programme details
We focus on helping you build and accelerate each part of your business over an intense timeframe. You will gain an immense amount of condensed experience through our online digital learning tools and support from a fantastic community.
This is the perfect opportunity for you to apply learning to a real business idea, it isn’t a theoretical programme, rather there are lots of practical elements.
Probably yes. Someone in the community will most likely have the right answer for you. Head over to your community and ask the question! Your community manager is also here to support you.
You will receive access to world class learning resources – including video content, reading materials, templates and case studies. Plus a community of other people going through the same experience as you to learn and share from. You will also receive access to our Community Managers who are all experienced in helping you to grow your idea. These skills can be applied to your own new company, within your business or set you up to join another startup business or allow you to have a new way of thinking and approaching tasks should you decide starting a company isn’t for you and you’d like to go back to a larger organisation – so regardless of where you want to take your future, this programme will equip you with valuable skills.
Our team have been heavily involved in supporting people launch new businesses for more than 100 years collectively! Our statistics really speak for themselves. We make sure that we bring people together who have been exactly where you are – starting out. We’ve done it, we know how tough it is and we also know how to drive success.
We hold you accountable for working the programme. Each week you’ll be given some insight as to how best to approach that week’s activities. But we can only guide you, you ultimately have to do the work. If you miss a session, then let your community manager know and they will share how best you can catch it up.
We understand that sometimes life gets in the way, and the programme is designed to give you as much flexibility to work it as your main day activity or even in the evenings if you are still working. But we can’t stop or pause the programme, so you’ll have to double up and catch up.
