For you?
You are a venture team, 1 to 3 years from launching your product, moving your focus from technical innovation to business preparation. You understand that business insights become critically important for success. You have challenges such as: What makes your company attractive for investors? How do you prepare best for a next-investor round? Which countries should your product be launched in? How do you prepare for marketing the product? What should the management team look like in a business environment?
Focus
The program combines in-depth training and mentoring by some of the best serial entrepreneurs, marketing experts, and investors from the United States and Europe. The program is US- and Europe-based for teams who want to be maximally prepared for their scaling-up. Scaling-up involves finding a next investor, scaling-up with a (corporate) partner, and finding the best entrance strategy to new markets. Mentors can guide you through this complex decision process and connect you with experienced experts around the globe. Our experts provide you with honest feedback to push you further.
