Our
shared
goal
At Headstream, we are committed to extending the reach and impact of digital well-being products for youth. Built based on founder feedback, the Headstream Residency is designed to support visionary entrepreneurs who have already made waves in the market and are seeking support to reach new horizons and scale their impact. Expanding to new markets can be challenging. We want to make the journey to new customer acquisition accessible and more efficient. During the six months of virtual-first cohort programming, Residents will create strategies, build relationships, increase capacity to expand market reach, develop capacity as leaders, and share learnings with the cohort.
