Hey Lisbon, miss us already? 😏 From December 2-5, the ULTRA.VC team brought the energy to the sunny capital for #Batch_Fall24 Celebration Week. Check out the recap video to relive the excitement we've created (and left behind)! Celebration Week is the final stretch for startups that joined our accelerator in September. Over three intense months, they’ve grown, evolved, learned, doubted, built connections and friendships, stepped out of their comfort zones, pitched to investors - and so much more. We couldn’t be prouder of every founder and the incredible journey they’ve been on. They’ve earned this celebration! 🎉 Lisbon welcomed us with open arms - and we’re already thinking about coming back. The city’s ecosystem is strong, diverse, and nurturing for impact. A huge thank you to everyone who have made it all possible 🙌 Looking forward to see you again!
