I feel a foot taller as an entrepreneur, I learnt things I didn't even realise I needed
Charlie Casey
Co-founders
Startupbootcamp proved invaluable. They have an amazing network and connected us with every investor in our seed round.”
Daniel Barber
Founder
I expected to learn about brand positioning and pitching to investors, but hadn’t appreciated the machine behind Startupbootcamp and the depth of knowledge available to me. We covered a vast range of items that touch on every aspect of running and growing a business. I’d say that over 90% of the program content was directly relevant to my business and even at times was curated for me.
Federico Roviglioni
COO
I had the pleasure of participating in the Mobility and Transportation accelerator, which helped my team and I improve our value proposition and find the perfect product-market-fit. Thanks to the global network of clients, partners, and investors with whom we got in touch, we were able to expand our international network.
Daniel Sand
Co-Founder
We loved everything about Startupbootcamp’s accelerator program. It helped us kick-start our journey — both professionally and personally. We still leverage learnings from the program years later; we do pre-mediation 4 times a year, and we still test all our ideas based upon the lean methodology before spending resources on it.”
