Turn De-Risking Into a Practice Across Your Entrepreneurship Program

Training and certifications built around the De-Risking Startups Framework™ — a comprehensive framework designed to help founders continuously identify, measure, prioritize, and reduce the risks standing between their companies and success.

Explore the four services

Turning Risk into a Competitive Advantage

Entrepreneurship programs give founders the knowledge, mentorship, networks, and support they need to build stronger companies. The De-Risking Startups Framework™ complements these efforts with a hands-on, systematic process that entrepreneurship program teams and founders can apply to continuously identify, measure, prioritize, and reduce risk.

Founders don’t just learn the framework — they practice it on their own startups. They learn to see their company as a living system, understand direct and compounding risks across Founders, Team, Market, Product, Administration, and Finance, quantify those risks, run Pre-Mortems, and turn their findings into prioritized actions.

Four Services. One De-Risking Framework.

Two training tracks and two certifications. Each can stand on its own — or work together to take an institution from adopting the methodology to owning it.

// 01

Training for Entrepreneurship Program / Center Teams

Five focused modules that help directors, mentors, and staff apply measurable risk to startup selection, diagnosis, cohort design, mentoring, and impact measurement.

PROGRAM TEAM

// 02

Training for Founders

A hands-on De-Risking program where founders learn the methodology and apply it to their own companies in Rocketbeet — identifying, measuring, prioritizing, and reducing risk.

YOUR COHORT

// 03

Certified De-Risking Trainer

Equip your own team to deliver the De-Risking methodology internally — in your language, on your calendar, across every cohort you run.

TEAM CREDENTIAL

// 04

Certified De-Risking Practitioner

Founders demonstrate that they can diagnose their company, prioritize its risks, execute a De-Risking plan, and document measurable progress. A credential earned through evidence, not attendance.

FOUNDER CREDENTIAL

— Service 01

Training for Entrepreneurship Program / Center Teams

Five focused modules across the work your program already does — selection, diagnosis, cohort design, mentoring and impact measurement. Each module is independent: contract one, several, or all five.

// 01

Introduce Rocketbeet To Institutions

Bring Rocketbeet to VCs, accelerators, governments, and universities — turning fragmented dealflow into structured, signal-driven pipelines.

The Systemic Approach to Diagnosis

The problem a founder raises is not always the risk the company needs to resolve. Symptoms, root causes and structural risk across the six dimensions, and how to run a full diagnosis.

Program managers · Mentors
3 × 90 min · 3 weeks
// 03

The Differentiated Approach to Cohort Design

Companies can share a program without travelling the same path through it. Segmenting by risk and maturity, assigning mentors to real needs, and building 30, 60 and 90-day De-Risking Plans.

Directors · Cohort design
3 × 90 min · 3 weeks
// 04

The Evidence-Based Approach to Mentoring

Mentoring measured by the risks it resolves, not the sessions it fills. Preparing from a risk profile, turning advice into verifiable actions, and tracking what the hour actually changed.

Mentors · EIRs · Coordinators
2 × 90 min · 2 weeks
// 05

The Longitudinal Approach to Impact

Completing workshops does not make a startup stronger. Baselines at entry, Risk Score evolution, emerging risks, early warnings, and impact reports your board and funders will accept.

Directors · Impact teams
3 × 90 min · 3 weeks

Each session is 90 minutes: an hour on the method, then thirty minutes where the team applies it to its own startups. What they produce opens the following session. The full series spans about fifteen weeks — one semester or one program cycle.

Every module adapts to your program — your sector, your cohort stage, your calendar. When none of them fits what you run, we design one from your own portfolio.

Training for Founders

Successful startups. By design.

A hands-on De-Risking program where founders learn the methodology and apply it to their own companies in Rocketbeet — identifying, measuring, prioritizing, and reducing risk. Your institution is the client; your founders are the audience.

// 01

Reading Your Own Risk

What the Risk Score measures, how the six dimensions interact, and how to read a stage band without mistaking a higher standard for a setback.

90 min
// 02

Finding the Risk That Actually Blocks You

Telling apart the problem that hurts today, the cause underneath it, and the structural risk that decides the outcome. Founders diagnose their own company in the session.

90 min
// 03

Turning Assumptions into Evidence

Designing the experiment, the customer conversation or the operating test that reduces uncertainty — and recognizing the ones that only produce activity.

90 min
// 04

Building Your De-Risking Plan

Prioritizing by impact, probability, urgency and interdependence, then committing to a 30, 60 and 90-day plan the program can follow with you.

90 min
// 05

How Capital Reads Risk

What a capital provider sees before a founder finishes the pitch, which risks end diligence, and how to close the weakest dimension before the conversation starts.

90 min

Delivered to a full cohort, remotely or on site. Founders keep their roadmap in Rocketbeet afterwards, so the sessions compound instead of expiring.

Every module adapts to your program — your sector, your cohort stage, your calendar. When none of them fits what you run, we design one from your own portfolio.

Two Certifications. Earned Through Evidence.

One for the team that teaches the method, one for the founders who apply it. Both are earned by doing the work — not by sitting through it.

// 03 Team Credential

Certified De-Risking Trainer

Equip your own team to deliver the De-Risking methodology internally — in your language, on your calendar, across every cohort you run. The methodology outlasts the engagement, and the institution stops depending on outside consultants to run it.

The full series, with the fieldwork.

Pass the written assessment

On the framework, the six dimensions and the scoring bands.

Calibrate against reference cases

How the Four Fit Together

Each service stands alone. Taken in order, they move an institution from learning the methodology to running it without us.

StageServiceWhat the institution gains
LearnTraining for Entrepreneurship Program TeamsThe team runs selection, diagnosis, cohort design, mentoring and reporting on one shared method.
ExtendTraining for FoundersThe cohort speaks the same language as the team, and keeps working between sessions.
OwnCertified De-Risking TrainerThe institution delivers the methodology itself, to every cohort, without contracting delivery again.
ProveCertified De-Risking PractitionerFounders leave with a credential backed by measured risk reduction, and the program with evidence of it.

90-minute sessions

An hour on the method, thirty minutes applying it to real companies — in breakout rooms when the session is virtual.

Remote or on site

Delivered wherever the team is. Exercises work on your own portfolio in Rocketbeet, never on case material.

Three languages

English, Spanish and Portuguese, delivered by Rocketbeet or by a certified local partner in your territory.

Built Around Your Program, Not Ours

Both tracks adapt. Every module can be reshaped to your sector focus, the stage of your cohort and the shape of your academic or fiscal calendar — and when none of the modules fits what you run, we design the training from your own portfolio.

Adapted modules

The same methodology, taught on your cases, in your vocabulary, weighted to the stages your cohort actually sits in.

A program designed from scratch

For a sector track, a regional program or a multi-campus rollout that needs its own sequence and its own reporting.

Delivered by us or by your team

Rocketbeet runs it, or your own certified trainers do once they hold the credential. The curriculum stays the same either way.
