GUEST POST from Arlen Meyers
Dear Innovator,
On behalf of the staff at Innovation Resorts, welcome. We hope you enjoy your stay and please do not hesitate to contact us via our app if you need anything. Our model is a cross between Canyon Ranch and Techstars and our mission is to help you get your ideas to customers in a supportive and healthy environment. Thinks of us as chicken soup for founders.
Allow me to acquaint you with our activities to make your stay as productive and enjoyable as possible:
Unlimited high speed WIFI any where on campus from 8am -7pm. We have intentionally limited access to allow you to decompress and take advantage of the down time to refresh and activate your dormant creativity
Diet, exercise and relaxation sessions each morning from 6am-8am. Don’t even think of checking your cell phone for messages during this time and please obey the cell free zone signs.
Daily sessions with your executive coach and therapist. Please use our app to schedule sessions each day to assess and monitor your progress
Unlimited use of our Innovation Labs to develop your product and business model ideas with our leadership and business development coaches
Friday night idea orgies where your idea can have sex with someone else’s idea
Admission to our Inovators Club where you will have access to mentors, our dating app to connect to other innovation stakeholders and in kind services from our sponsor.
Please note that our life guards are angel investors, private equity professionals and family office representatives. Since these folks are so hard to indentify in the real world, we have made it easy to identify them. They are wearing green shirts with a dollar sign on their back. Seed stage and angel investors are at the deep end. Series A and institutional investors are at the more shallow end. There is a rescue fee included in your daily charge.
Free admission to our Innovation Monopoly simulation competition. The winners get an all expense paid trip to another Innovation Resort scaleup location of your choice
Come to our daily Meet Your Customer sessions where you can do customer discover interviews to test your business model canvas hypotheses
