USMAC matches a participating company with a domain specialist to benchmark it against global competitors. The mentor shares a written account of findings that includes business strategy recommendations and concrete next steps, followed by a web conference to review key findings. The advertised analysis can include a preview of leading companies in the participant’s space, validation of the company’s core value proposition in a global market context, and identification of gaps and opportunities relative to leading companies.
USMAC describes the Program as taking four to six weeks of calendar time. Its outlined process includes an initial founder interview to evaluate team and company compatibility, one or two web meetings with the founding team for the mentor’s deep dive as needed, and three or more mentor interviews with people in the mentor’s network to test company assumptions. The process also includes a written report and a final web conference to review key findings. No dated cohort milestones are established.
