A roadmap for accelerators
Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.
Lots of opportunities are coming in.
This is a roadmap for using coaching, workshops, incubators and accelerators to develop, test and validate the Ajabbi Mission Business Model and the Pipi closed-core and Pipi open-source applications.
Ultimately, it's a record of what is learned, so it doesn't include missed opportunities or declined applications. There are a few missing items from some time back that are yet to be added.
Free is good (cloud credits, bro bono, software, training), but no funding or investment is being sought.
The roadmap is sorted by deadline, so that I remember to do them. The first row of the table is a key.
