CrowdSolve is a 10-week-at-a-time accelerator built for first-time founders who have a hunch but not yet a validated business. Members work through three structured stages: sharpening the problem and solution hypothesis, testing it with real customer discovery, and building a traction plan tailored to where they are. Two live working sessions run each week, backed by mentors who have built and sold companies themselves.

What sets CrowdSolve apart is Marvin, an AI built into every step of the curriculum, so founders are not stuck alone between sessions. Membership costs a flat $100 a month, and CrowdSolve never takes equity. The program has ties to established venture programs including the University of Colorado's New Venture Challenge, and climate-focused startups can access additional non-dilutive grant funding through partner programs.

Outcomes

  • Turn a hunch into a validated business idea
  • Test assumptions with real customer discovery

  • Entrepreneurs who want structured, weekly accountability and mentorship
  • Founders who want to avoid giving up equity for early support
