== Phase III: Post-workshop ==
Phase three is the post-workshop. Lasting six months, phase three is the longest phase of the eight-month program. Phase three is characterized by regular phones calls between teams and VentureWell. Phase three also includes consultations with mentors and peers including Xcelerator alumni and technical experts. It is during this phase that innovators have access to more in-depth knowledge about technology and market validation, business and team management, and innovation marketing and communication. The type of support each team receives is unique to each team and is customized based on the strategy maps the team created during the previous phase(s). In essence, phase three is the phase where teams are expected to begin executing on the coaching and advising plan that was created during phase two.
