Our Story
In 2014, we developed startup training courses to disrupt the overpriced & outdated models of the startup education industry. Empowered by all those who provided feedback in our early entrepreneurship workshops, our startup trainings set us apart by bringing you high quality at radically low prices. By creating & connecting vibrant startup networks, we grew far beyond the local workshop model, becoming an online community of entrepreneurs from all around the U.S.
More recently, tech strategist & TGA co-creator Andrew Canady helped put our focus on startup training specifically for gamers. We're inspired by your ideas, your dreams, your innovations; & our online training & community embodies your spirit. TGA is built for adventurous & creative people who dare to disrupt the status-quo; it's built for gamers.
Our mission is to help you monetize your game skills by combining them with our startup training. Above all else, we continue to develop and design with the dream of achieving what our mission essentially boils down to: to help you live your best life on your own terms.

Our Mission
TGA was created on the belief that startup training shouldn't break the bank, as many universities & colleges do. Our goal is to change the way you think about starting a business by delivering superior training at radically fair prices.
Let’s face it - while traditional institutions of higher learning certainly have their place, we felt there must be a better way than lengthy & expensive programs with heavy focus on entrepreneurial theory that may not even result in mastery of actions required to get to startup.
Our motto is: “An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory!”
Online training is an exciting alternative but sadly, it's a space fraught with scams & gimmicks that excite to give people hope (while opening their wallets), while failing to deliver truly successful startup training. We wanted to create something innovative - high-quality training that utilizes all the best startup strategies in the industry from truly qualified leaders in entrepreneurial action - And together, that's exactly what we’ve done.
Our Social Networks
TGA is more than just quality startup training - we're also an active online community. Social networking is crucial to your success. We’ve all heard of entrepreneurs dropping out of college after launching wildly successful startups, but a lesser known fact is that colleges offered them all something that helped their success - social networks.
Once signed up, personal profiles enable you to share a profile photo & offers space to highlight your achievements & community contributions. You can create public discussion posts & polls, follow friends & send private messages to communicate with each other & us.
You don’t have to go it alone once your startup training is complete, because we’ll still be there offering support! If you’re undecided to train with us, that’s ok - you can still join our completely free (no strings) community below, & be sure to follow us on social media as well!
