Message from Founder
Venture School was founded by Dipesh Savani, an entrepreneur and venture builder who believes that continuous learning is the cornerstone of entrepreneurial success.
We believe building a venture is about more than money — it’s about impact, long-term growth, and the pursuit of knowledge. Through cohort-based, hands-on learning and real-world mentorship, Venture School helps professionals and early innovators turn ideas into action and build ventures that matter.

How You'll
Learn & Experience
A blend of learning formats designed for maximum retention and real-world application.
Who is this program for?
Venture School is designed for aspiring entrepreneurs, corporate innovators, and anyone with a startup idea they want to validate and launch. No prior startup experience is required, but you should be committed to building a real business during the program.
Can I pivot my idea during the program?
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it if customer research suggests a different direction. About 40% of our participants pivot at least once during the program. The goal is to find product-market fit, not to stick with your original idea.
What happens after the 12 weeks?
You'll have lifetime access to our alumni network, continued mentor office hours, and invitations to exclusive events. Many alumni continue working together, partnering on ventures, or supporting each other's growth.
What if I don't have a technical background?
That's perfectly fine! We teach you how to build MVPs using no-code tools and help you validate your idea before building anything technical. We also have technical mentors available for those who want to build custom solutions.
What's the time commitment?
Expect to dedicate 15-20 hours per week. This includes 3-4 hours of live sessions, mentor meetings, and the rest on independent work building your startup. The program is designed for working professionals who want to build their startup part-time.
Do I need a co-founder or team?
No, you can join as a solo founder. Many participants find co-founders within the cohort. We facilitate team formation during the first two weeks based on complementary skills and shared interests.
