Startup Test-Drive — Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 August 2026

Right now the Test-Drive is free. We are opening the first 50 seats before the public launch. During this stage we take no payment and ask for no card details. When paid enrolment opens, the price, the offer and the refund policy will be published on this page before any payment is possible.

1. Who we are

The Startup Test-Drive is run by Startup Mastery (Igor Peer, Israel).

For anything in this document — questions, data requests, complaints — write to igor.startupmastery@gmail.com.

2. What the Test-Drive is

A five-day guided programme. One lap a day, one-on-one with Mars, ending with a straight GO / NO-GO verdict on your idea. You also receive the e-book “Lean Innovation 3.0”.

We give you a method, an honest expert assessment and a set of documents you can show.
We do not guarantee that your startup will succeed, raise money or find customers.
A NO-GO is a valid result of the service, not a failure of it — it saves you a year.

3. What you need

A desktop or laptop computer. The Startup Mastery platform is built for a big screen; the mobile version is still being rebuilt.
Telegram, where the daily work happens.
About 30 minutes a day for five days.

4. Your idea stays yours

Everything you write during the Test-Drive is a private one-on-one. We do not publish your idea, do not show it to other participants and do not pass it to third parties without your consent. Any intellectual property in your idea remains yours.

Our side of it — the methodology, the platform, the book and the materials — belongs to Startup Mastery. You may use them for your own project; redistributing or reselling them is not allowed.

5. What we collect and why

What: your name, e-mail address, Telegram username, and the content you create during the programme (your idea description, answers, the documents we build together).
Why: to run the programme, to reach you, and to keep your work available to you.
Who else sees it: nobody outside Startup Mastery. We do not sell data and do not pass it to advertisers. Technical service providers that host the platform and deliver messages process data strictly on our instructions. We disclose data if the law requires it.
How long: for as long as you take part, and afterwards only while we may still need it to answer you or to meet a legal obligation.
Payment data: during the free stage we collect none. When paid enrolment opens, card details will be handled by the payment provider — we will not store card numbers.

6. Your rights over your data

You can ask us at any time to show you what we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Write to igor.startupmastery@gmail.com and we will answer within 14 days. You can also ask us to stop writing to you, and we will.

7. Limits of our responsibility

The Test-Drive is information and expert opinion. Business decisions you take on the basis of it are yours, and we are not liable for their outcome. We do our best to keep the programme running, but we cannot promise it will be free of interruption.

8. Law

These terms are governed by the law of the State of Israel.

9. Changes

If we change these terms, we update this page and the date at the top. Changes that affect what you pay or what we collect will be announced before they take effect.
