Testimonials

How founders describe their experience

The bootcamp gave me a practical way to think about fundraising, which can otherwise be daunting and not always very pleasant.


Hanna Toivonen

CEO & co-founder at Starstuff

We were just preparing our seed round materials, so the timing of the bootcamp was perfect. It gave us a great feedback loop: sparring with peers, getting input from VCs, and calibrating our story.

Ajimufti Azhari

COO, Resistomap

If you're in the middle of fundraising or just getting started, it’s good to join this bootcamp to get practical tips and kickstart the whole process.


Taina Mikkola

Founder & CEO, Elina Education

For a deep-tech spinoff like ours, this Program provided a great opportunity to connect with industry-focused VCs and get direct answers to very specific questions.
