Hosted by Sam Koranteng

It's free, it runs for two hours and you can bring your questions.
Next cohort runs January 2027 to June 2027
Pick one ideaand give itsix months.
6 Months of You is for people between 20 and 35 who keep starting things and dropping them. We hold you to one idea every week until it’s real, and you do it next to people who are building too.
How the six months work
Every week you show up, say what you did and get pushed on the next step. Confidence comes from evidence, so by the end you have a stack of proof that you can finish something.
26 weeks
January 2027 to June 2027
Focus
You come in with five ideas and you leave the first weeks with one. That's the idea you build for the next six months, and it's the one you stay with when it gets hard.
Build
Every week there's a check-in and a milestone, so the work keeps moving even on the weeks you don't feel like it. People who have built before look at what you're doing and tell you straight.
Connect
You build next to a cohort of people doing the same thing, and we introduce you to the people who can actually move your business forward.
Launch
By month six your business or brand is out in the world, and you have the proof that you can finish what you start.
You'll know if this is you.
- You're between 20 and 35 and you want to build something of your own
- You've started more than one idea or side hustle and dropped it when life got busy
- You already have the ambition, what's missing is structure and someone checking on you
- You want to be around people who are building too and who will tell you the truth about your work
- You're ready to give one thing six months of real work
From the founder
Success does not take a year. It takes long, built-up work, and you have time to build it.
The first time I spent six months building, I failed gracefully, all by myself. The second time I built two businesses next to a full-time job, with co-founders and with everything that first failure taught me.
- MyScholarMatch reached 7,500+ signups in four months.
- Skales signed a €50k+ client in three months.
Questions
Who is this actually for?
Anyone between 20 and 35 who has the drive to build but keeps starting over. New idea, new notebook, and three weeks later the motivation is gone. If you're reading this and nodding, it's for you.
When does the program run?
The next cohort runs from January 2027 to June 2027, six months from start to finish.
Do I need a finished idea to apply?
No. You need to be willing to commit and see it through. The first weeks are there to help you settle on the one thing you'll build.
What do I actually get?
Six months of weekly accountability, guidance from people who have built before, a cohort building next to you, and introductions to people you wouldn't have met on your own.
How do I apply?
Applications aren't open yet. Come to the free webinar first, that's where it starts, and we open applications from there.
What's the refundable GH₵7,000 deposit?
It's not a fee. If you're accepted, you pay a GH₵7,000 deposit and you get every cedi back when you finish the six months. We do it so that everyone in the room is serious, because people show up differently when something is on the line.
Applications for the January cohort open soon
