#Feedback. This is post two in the series of how startups benefit from being part of #incubators. The second important topic is feedback. This comes from experts, peers as well as stakeholders (in our case the city and other partners of Urban Tech Helsinki) and potential investors. Why is this important. Well, it is the basis for all development. You need constant and insightful feedback to develop your product-market-fit, your services, your sales pitch and your investor pitch and approach. The thing an incubator or and #accelerator can provide is the surroundings of getting the feed back in a productive and trustful environment, where it is easier to take on board and where you are also supported to keep working on your startup, product and investment plans. To get as much and as valuable feedback on all aspects of the startup is nearly impossible to get elsewhere. So, it is worth looking at the best incubators and accelerators just to get in to the feedback-loop. This is a part of a series of insights to benefits of incubators and accelerators as we have a call open Urban Tech Helsinki . If you are a startup that would benefit from connections to for example #cities or other stakeholders such as universities, have a look and apply through our website. https://lnkd.in/dwnNStBd #incubator #startups #growth #impact #feedback #development #daring #emotionalsafeplace Oh, if you have an idea I could think of, please let me know.

Today is the turn for #insight number three on what do #incubators and #accelerators offer to startups. Why to join one? My third point is #connections. The programmes and their experts can normally offer connections to #mentors, #partners, #stakeholders, sometimes #customers and even #investors. All these are valuable for a startup founder either in finding customers, investors or developing your solution. When considering joining a programme, ask yourself if it can offer the contacts you need. We Urban Tech Helsinki are special at this. We have the connections to Aalto University, Helsinki University and Metropolia University of Applied Sciences connections. And as the main draw, we can help to get connected to City of Helsinki. Why are these important? Well, for pilots, and also to have the discussions you need to build your offering to match cities' needs. That can make a startup. This is a part of a series of insights to benefits of incubators and accelerators as we have a call open Urban Tech Helsinki . If you are a startup that would benefit from connections to for example #cities or other stakeholders such as #universities, have a look and apply through our website. https://lnkd.in/dwnNStBd Ps.

Warning: this is an advert. Also, this is a personal view on how #incubators and #accelerators benefit #startups and startup founders. I'll start with the obvious. Founders work can be lonesome. The support of others in similar situations or the ones that have done it before is invaluable. This is actually quite a universal rule of human life. Don't be alone, get support from others in similar situations. Oh... you do get to help them out as well. The more intricate issue here is that the support and network is more than just helping with the business. At best it can be collegial and you can even make friends. Therefore - as a personal opinion - you get a lot more out of being a part of an incubator or accelerator that has face to face meetings and a space you can share with your peers. I will do a series of these as we have a call open Urban Tech Helsinki. If you are a startup that would benefit from connections to for example #cities or other stakeholders such as universities, have a look and apply throug our website. https://lnkd.in/dwnNStBd
