About Us
ostruzs.info was established in Leeds to address a gap in accessible, structured business education for people at the earliest stages of their entrepreneurial journey. Rather than offering short, surface-level courses, we developed a longer-format programme that respects how people actually learn and grow a business.
The "Business in 1000 Days" framework was developed through research with early-stage founders in the UK who found that generic startup advice rarely translated into actionable market understanding. Our curriculum team has iteratively refined the content over seven years based on participant feedback and real-world outcomes.
We are based at 133 Victoria Road, Leeds, and operate under UK registration with a commitment to transparent, straightforward programme descriptions — no inflated promises, only clear information about what each module contains and what participants can reasonably expect to learn.
