Week 2 Opener: the Vault, Live Founder Sessions, and the TAM/SAM/SOM Exercise

Kairos programme host Unnamed Growth School / Kairos Business Fellowship host - the two short intro lessons

The short version

  1. Week 2 has no recorded lectures: a mandatory 'vault' (videos, case studies, podcasts) plus live founder sessions where questions can be asked, and a TAM/SAM/SOM sizing exercise framed so an employee can size a new segment - Kairos and Growth School as the example (0:00-0:03).

01

The Week 2 operating model: vault plus live sessions, and TAM/SAM/SOM

You can only ask a founder a question on the live call. So the recordings stop and the vault starts.

Week 2 replaces recorded lectures with a mandatory vault of videos, case studies and podcasts, and live founder sessions - the stated reason is that mentors can only be questioned live. The exercise: size a market as TAM (total), SAM (serviceable) and SOM (obtainable), framed for an employee sizing a new business segment, with Kairos / Growth School as the worked example.
