About Blueprint by The Engine:
The Blueprint program equips the next generation of Tough Tech leaders with the foundational knowledge and real-world insights of experienced Tough Tech founders in The Engine’s network. Participants gain the tools to conduct self-diligence, de-risk their ideas, and chart a clear path forward for their entrepreneurial journey. Through weekly sessions, mentorship, guides, and assignments, participants develop key entrepreneurial skills and progressively build a pitch deck for their Tough Tech innovations. The program concludes with the Blueprint Showcase, where participants present their work, receive feedback, and connect with stakeholders relevant to their next steps.
