“Every startup team should have a cofounder with 35+ years of experience to save them from raising the wrong money, hiring the wrong people, and chasing the wrong market with the wrong strategy. Jothy Rosenberg, where have you been all my life?! Your book Tech Startup Toolkit gave us the critical warnings, strategic models, and practical playbooks - and now this course brings it all to life in an engaging, conversational way. Brilliant."

Now, I want to help YOU apply these insights to successfully build and grow your own startup.

Hi, I’m Jothy Rosenberg — 9-time founder and $231M in exits.

Founder of 9 startups and mentor to CEOs.

Whether you're just starting out or scaling your existing venture, I have developed this 60+ lesson program to share actionable insights without the fluff. My goal is that you'll learn how to avoid the costly mistakes I've already made, make confident decisions under pressure, and dramatically increase your startup's chances of success.

Two of my startups exited for a combined $231 million.

Unlike programs taught by academics, this experience delivers battle-tested frameworks I've personally used for each phase of the startup journey. When others falter during funding droughts, fierce competition, or unexpected crises, you'll have the precise playbook to not just survive but accelerate past competitors. For the first three courses alone, I provide 97 battle-tested templates, frameworks, and checklists I've personally used to build multimillion-dollar companies.

My source of grit:

What most people don't know is that my entrepreneurial path began after overcoming cancer that took my leg at 16 and a lung at 19 which, at the time, no one had ever survived. This experience fundamentally shaped how I approach business challenges, risk, and resilience.

Through these experiences, I've learned vital lessons...
