InRoads Venture Systems Program

IVSP is our flagship venture-building program. Over six months, you don't write a hypothetical business plan—you build the actual company while you're in the program.

The company is the coursework.

Demo Month

You built it. Now show us what you built.

Completing the 24-week program isn't the end of IVSP.

After you've identified a real problem, validated the opportunity, designed the business, architected and built the technology, commercialized the venture, and gathered proof, you move into Demo Month.

This is where the work leaves the classroom.

You prepare to present and defend the business you've spent six months building—not a hypothetical business plan, a pitch-deck exercise, or an idea you hope to build someday. You demo a functioning venture.

During Demo Month, you refine your

Comprehensive by design

IVSP integrates business, technology, systems, commercialization, and validation into one high-touch experience. You work through each decision with guidance, then put it to work in your own company.

It's built for professionals who know something deeply and suspect there's a business in it—and for those ready to turn that expertise into a technology-enabled venture.
