About Jen Test 101
Startup 101 is built for students and first-time founders who want to explore entrepreneurship by actually building. With step-by-step curriculum, mentorship, and weekly goals, you’ll turn your idea into a real startup while learning what it truly takes to launch. You’ll also leverage AI tools and Fusen’s Buildify platform to prototype, test, and iterate faster so you can spend less time stuck and more time building.
Built for founders pursuing scalable, tech-enabled startups. Startup 101 is the first step in Fusen’s founder pathway, designed for teams aiming to grow into programs like Ignite and beyond, not for traditional small businesses, restaurants, or lifestyle ventures.
Key Benefits

- Learn what actually matters for first-time founders. Curriculum focuses on the essentials: validating your idea, talking to customers, building MVPs, and early growth, without unnecessary theory.
- Weekly goals that keep you accountable. Set, track, and complete startup milestones so you don’t stall or lose momentum.
- Access to experienced mentors. Get guidance from founders and operators who can help you avoid common early mistakes and unblock challenges faster.
- Founder community for support and collaboration. Build alongside other first-time founders, share wins and struggles, and learn from each other’s experiences.
