Gained practical experience in startups.

Developed a clear understanding of your priorities and determination level.

Security

Built a strong network of like-minded individuals.

Why This Matters

Imagine being a startup founder looking for a cofounder or the founding team. Who would you prefer?

Someone with no experience, unclear priorities, and uncertain
determination?

Someone who has shown commitment, learned about startups, and has hands-on experience working on projects?

Our objective is to equip participants with the latter – the skills, knowledge,
and experience necessary to succeed in the startup ecosystem.
