Why this matters
Your members do not need another networking event.
They need a way to stay active, find partners, and show what they can do.
The sprint forms working teams and tests their ideas with real buyers. Your organization helps make that possible.
Entrepreneur centers
Move local ideas into teams ready for customer tests.
Member companies
Meet new teams through live problems and buyer introductions.
A practical partnership
You open doors. UXDL runs the system.
Your team opens the right doors. UXDL runs the five-day program.
UXDL runs
- screening each participant
- pod matching by skills
- five-day program delivery
- team agreements and decisions
- buyer test planning
- results review and next steps
The partner contributes
- a suitable venue
- one member, alumni, or community invitation
- participant reach and local trust
- 3–5 buyer, founder, or mentor introductions
- a shared pilot story when results support it

Better-prepared referrals
Send teams into programs with clear roles and buyer feedback.

Common questions
What the founding partnership requires
What does the founding partnership cost?
The partner cash commitment is $0 for the founding pilot. Partners provide a venue, reach, trust, and 3–5 introductions.
How much of the program would our team need to run?
UXDL runs screening, matching, the five-day program, buyer tests, and results review. Partners bring people and buyer introductions.
What counts as a successful pilot?
The sprint does not promise a company launch or paid work. Success can be buyer feedback, a paid test, portfolio proof, a referral, or a clear stop.
