How it works

From first idea to Demo Day, in five steps.

Spot, validate, team up, build, launch — every step lives in the same workspace, so what you learn carries into what you build next.

  1. 01

    Spot

    Capture the idea you keep coming back to, then research real complaints with Problem Hunter before you commit.

  2. 02

    Validate

    Run customer-discovery surveys and work through the ten-step playbook. Each stage opens when the evidence is in.

  3. 03

    Team up

    Meet a co-founder whose skills complement yours, then make the big calls together with founder votes.

  4. 04

    Build

    Plan projects and sprints, tie the roadmap to OKRs, and keep customers, documents, and runway in pesos in view.

  5. 05

    Launch

    Publish your startup profile, apply to a batch, and build toward Demo Day with a steady rhythm of updates.

Where a person decides.

3C does the routine steps. This is the one it hands back.

For Filipino founders

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Start with the free tools. Find the people who make the work lighter. Apply to a batch when you can show what you’ve learned — admission is selective; getting started isn’t.

Find a co-founderExplore batches

  • Find your co-founder

    Swipe through founders whose skills and goals complement yours. Matches happen only when you both say yes.

  • Apply to a batch

    When your idea has evidence behind it, apply to a batch and build toward Demo Day with regular updates.

  • Decide together

    Put the big calls to a founder vote so every co-founder has a voice and the decision is on record.

  • Learn from the ecosystem

    A practical library, independently researched investor profiles, and a journal for the work ahead.

FAQs

A few things worth knowing.

No. You can join with an early idea, create a workspace, and work through the playbook. You do not need batch admission or a registered company to use the free tools.

The 3C startup workspace is free. Accelerator batches have a separate application process. Batayan, Habi, and Ariarian.ai are separate products with their own access and plan details.

Create a workspace, complete your startup profile in Settings, and enable its public listing. Accepted batch startups are also listed publicly. Keep your description, stage, and website current.

No. A public startup profile is separate from your internal workspace. Your workspace records remain subject to member roles and database access controls. Public profiles and published team information are visible to visitors.

Investor resources are independently researched links to official websites. They do not imply a partnership, an introduction, an investment offer, or a guarantee of funding.
