About Founders Jockey Program

Added to the site in August 2026, this is an enrolment course rather than a selective cohort, capped at twenty-five people a batch and run live on weekends over three months. It charges a single all-inclusive fee, published on its own page. The work runs from self-exploration and idea validation through prototyping, business modelling, pricing, go-to-market, digital presence and sales, to government schemes and a final startup blueprint, and ends in a pitch day in front of mentors, experts and investors.

What you get

  • Fifty hours of live, interactive training over three months
  • Lemon's own frameworks — its idea validation model, problem-solution modelling, venture scorecard, business model canvas and pitch-deck templates
  • An entrepreneur orientation psychometric assessment
  • Two one-to-one mentoring sessions with a founder-mentor
  • A pitch day in front of mentors, experts and investors
  • A year of membership of Lemon's founder community
  • Milestone badges and a course completion certificate

Who can apply

  • Aspiring, early-stage and student entrepreneurs
  • Founders at idea, prototype, MVP or pre-revenue stage
  • No incorporation requirement is stated
