Get your Strategyzer masterclass funded by your company

The Applied Masterclass series is priced at €1,850 per person for a single masterclass, with team pricing available for groups. Many professionals successfully get their company to cover this investment — it qualifies as professional development, strategic training, and in many organisations, innovation or go-to-market tooling budget.

Why companies fund Strategyzer masterclasses

Your company benefits directly from the skills and frameworks you'll apply during the program. The Applied Masterclass is structured around real work — participants apply tools to live projects during the sessions themselves, not in theory.

For most organisations, even a single improvement in go-to-market decision-making, customer understanding, or business model clarity delivers ROI that far exceeds the enrollment cost.

Three funding approaches that work

Expense it as professional or leadership development initiative

Most companies allocate budget for employee development. Position the Applied Masterclass as strategic skills training that directly enhances your ability to drive business results. The frameworks you learn — customer obsession, value proposition design, business model strategy — become organisational assets that benefit multiple projects and teams.

Use conference or training budgets

Compare the masterclass to an industry conference. Unlike events that offer broad networking with limited actionable output, the Applied Masterclass delivers live facilitation by Alex Osterwalder, structured fieldwork, and outcomes you apply to your own context immediately — across roughly 18 hours of guided work.

Present it as an innovation or a go-to-market tooling

Think of the masterclass as an accelerator for your current initiative — whether that's launching a new product, refining your ICP, or stress-testing your business model. It's not a passive learning experience. You leave with validated insights, completed canvases, and a clearer path forward.
