Building a startup is a tough journey that requires structure, capital, and most importantly a strong network.
Techstars has landed in Stockholm! Each year, they choose over 500 early-stage companies globally to join one of their 3-month, mentorship-driven accelerators, investing $120K and providing hands-on mentorship and access to the Techstars network for life. Are you the next Techstars entrepreneur?
Welcome to our fireside chat with Alfredo Jollon, MD Techstars Stockholm who takes us through the building blocks of their accelerator program.
We discuss, among other things:
⭐ Is there room for one more accelerator in Stockholm?
⭐ What are you looking for in a startup founder / team?
⭐ What makes your accelerator unique?
⭐ What verticals are popular in Techstars global / local program?
⭐ How does mentorship work / what's the power of network?
⭐ Startup highlights and success stories?
The discussion will be moderated by Naimul Abd, Business Advisor & Partnerships Lead at Coompanion Stockholm, serial impact entrepreneur, Strategic Advisor at Founder Institute Nordics, and Director Startup Grind Stockholm.
