20 folks, so that’s 10 teams of 2.

A typical week will involve you in:

• Project work that you and your team member will take on
• A live masterclass with an industry expert
• A live session with your mentor to discuss your week’s progress with your project
• Office hours with your batch mates and mentors to discuss challenges and learnings
• On some weeks as a bonus feature, you will have community events such as guest talks and workshops

Yes! The idea of having industry partners on board and organising a Demo Day is to help you showcase your work to top startups! We will also help you prepare your portfolio.

We’ll do everything we can. But, it’s still down to you to design a great project and clear the interview!

That’s totally fine, as long as you’ve worked in some design field. If you’re completely new to the design field, we suggest taking introductory courses and applying soon as you have a few projects on your portfolio.

We do plan to announce an introductory course for folks who’re completely new. Please do make sure to subscribe to our mailing list for updates on the same.

Either case, it’s a low risk decision. You either get a full refund or you don’t pay us if you don’t get a job in your target income range within 6 months of Demo Day.

The target income is personalised according to each participant’s background and goals, since they’re likely to be slightly different.

We wanted to make the Income Sharing Agreement option available to folks who’re currently tight on finances. We really don’t want money to come in the way of a good education.

That said, the option really depends on your financial comfort at this time. If you’re able to pay upfront, we suggest taking this route as it will likely save you money down the road.

Demo Day is an invite-only virtual event which will see participants from the cohort present their projects live.

The audience will include Heads of Design/Product and Hiring Managers from companies looking to hire Product Designers.

After the presentations, members in the audience will get in touch with you to discuss if their organisation might be a good fit for you.

Presentations will be recorded and based on your preferences, will be shared with select employers even after Demo Day, to ensure that you find the best possible offer.

Different people come with different backgrounds, life constraints, and learning speeds or preferences. So, there’s nothing to worry too much about if you don’t find an offer on Demo Day.

Since it’s most likely to do with lacking experience for the role, we’ll recommend you take up another project for a duration of 3 months, and we’ll continue to support you in the form of mentorship and opportunities during this time.

Please note that the second project is a required step in order to be eligible for a refund, in case one does not find a job within 6 months of Demo Day.

While we will give you a digitally verifiable certificate, we’d like to go further. We want to help you with gaining concrete experience and also developing industry connections.

Through assignments and projects, you’ll actually learn how to apply concepts and develop real-world experience; stuff you can feature on your portfolio.

Finally, by working with experienced professionals on ownpath, you’ll develop valuable connections that can unlock doors which would be much harder otherwise.
