Performance based services and perks

100% to 50%

coazama computes a Road Blocker Index (RBI) in % that allows us to see to which degree the team is blocked from making meaningful progress towards their defined goal.

The challenge for the teams: You have three months to lower the score below 50% to get access to the resources you need to accelerate your business.

Anyone can register their team for free and starting working on their idea and develop a product people love. Teams can use the planning and review tools that cozama provides to start making progress towards their goal. All teams have access to a content library and office hours that help you make best use of the tools provided.

> 50%

Teams that are able to drive their RBI below 50% get access to additional services to improve their performance, such as:

• Needs-based mentoring
• Cloud credits and service discounts
• Community membership
• Access to co-working in Cologne and Düsseldorf
• Discounts to workshops and events
• Employer branding services
• and much more

> 33%

A score below 33% indicates that the team was able to make continuous progress towards a meaningful goal and that they are (about to) generate monetary results.

We provide platforms for the teams with a score below 33% to pitch their business to investors and the general public. Investors get a access to the teams' profiles and can contact them directly.

We believe that societies thrive when innovative and ambitious founders succeed with building scalable and (economically) sustainable businesses. 

Experience has shown that to build a successful business you need to do one thing really well and avoid the common mistakes others have made. On of the biggest challenges for founders in this context is to focus on the right priorities and not get distracted. The right priorities are the things that make you unique and stand out from your competitors (your purpose) and that help you overcome your road blockers.

Through our cooperation with cozama we are able to grant anyone who is willing to focus on building a successful business access to the tools, services, and the community they need to work on the right priorities.

Anyone can start using cozama to define their idea, set expectations of the results that proof them right, plan and review their progress towards building a successful business.
