Question 1

What makes Theanna different from other female founder accelerators?

Accepted Answer

Unlike selective accelerators like She Loves Tech or Springboard Enterprises that require competitive applications and often reject founders, Theanna offers a more accessible path with a simplified joining process focused on getting you started quickly rather than gatekeeping who gets access. We provide a personalized startup roadmap with 31 key milestones, a community of 400+ female founders, analytics to track your progress, and expert network access without waiting for office hours.

Question 2

Do I need a technical co-founder to join Theanna?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Some of our most successful members started as solo, non-technical founders. Theanna provides community connections for direct introductions to vetted technical talent, a personalized startup roadmap with step-by-step guidance tailored to your business model, and analytics to track your progress and momentum. Your expertise plus our system equals startup success, regardless of your technical background.

Question 3

How much does Theanna cost and what's included?

Accepted Answer

Two paths designed for where you are in your journey: Connect ($49/month) is perfect for founders who want community support and expert guidance while they prepare to build. Build ($99/month) is for founders ready to systematically build their startup with AI-powered milestone tracking, progress analytics, and all the building tools you need to reach revenue. Both plans include our 400+ founder community. Compare this to equity-taking accelerators that typically take 6-10% of your company.

Question 4

Can Theanna help me if I'm still in the idea stage?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Idea stage is exactly where you should start. Our BUILD stage (Milestones 1-11) is specifically designed for founders with just an idea. Your first week includes a 7-Day Launch Checklist from our starter toolkit, market validation frameworks to test your idea quickly, community support from founders who've been exactly where you are, and step-by-step guidance to go from idea to MVP. Don't wait until you're ready—start building your foundation now.

Question 5

What kind of results do Theanna members achieve?

Accepted Answer

Real founders achieve real transformations. Amanda Dupuis went from being stuck in 'idea quicksand' to a fully built-out product days away from launch. Kristi Candela moved her business from idea to reality with strategic support and practical frameworks. Monica Grippo says her business would still just be an idea without Theanna's accountability and community inspiration. The pattern is clear: founders go from stuck and overwhelmed to building systematically with momentum, community support, and clear next steps.

Question 6

How does Theanna's milestone tracking work?

Accepted Answer

Think of it as your startup GPS with industry benchmarks. Our AI-driven system tracks your progress across 31 proven milestones from BUILD to LAUNCH to GROW to SCALE stages. Smart benchmarking compares your progress against industry standards with specific recommendations when you're falling behind. Adaptive milestones adjust based on your business model (B2B, B2C, SaaS, etc.) with tasks relevant to your specific situation and goals. You always know exactly what to work on next to reach your revenue goals fastest.

Question 7

What if I've been rejected by other accelerators?

Accepted Answer

Your rejection letter doesn't define your potential—your execution does. Many of our most successful members were initially rejected by other programs. Traditional accelerators have limited spots and subjective selection, often prioritizing certain industries or founder backgrounds. Theanna offers immediate access regardless of your background or business stage, an alternative pathway that focuses on systematic progress rather than just 'pitchability,' and success stories from founders who were rejected by multiple accelerators but built successful businesses using our milestone system.

Question 8

How do I connect with other female founders in my industry?

Accepted Answer

Smart networking, not random networking. Our 400+ member community is organized for meaningful connections with industry-specific channels (SaaS & Tech, E-commerce, Consulting, Health & Wellness, Finance, and more), stage-based groups (Idea, Launch, Growth, Scale), and location-based connections for local meetups and partnerships. Our team actively makes warm introductions based on your needs with monthly Founder Office Hour sessions and collaboration opportunities. Join conversations that actually move your business forward with Theanna's give-first mentality.
