Many programmes are keen to load up founders with as much education as possible - often all up-front.

We've found that knowledge retention and application suffer in these cases, because teams don't have time to apply what they've learned.

Don't overload teams with education at the outset. An initial toolset can be helpful, but for teaching to take hold and demonstrate a return on your investment, it needs to be applied and ideally assimilated into your teams modus operandi. This takes time, so consider spacing out education.
