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. The two previous ones were 1. #community and 2.#feedback #incubator #startups #growth #impact #feedback #development Oh, if you have an idea I could think of, please let me know.

#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.

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

Once Upon a WTF...🥁 Next week, Perth will host the West Tech Fest 2024 (WTF), a so-called "Innovation Showcase," with lofty promises like "Perth, a rising star in the global innovation landscape". Excuse me while I pause to laugh. 😄😅 Perth, a rising star? In what galaxy? 🌌 🫏 This is a city where innovation is a buzzword that gets trotted out once a year for an event but struggles to leave any lasting impact. 🧚♂️ Sure, they'll parade a handful of young and "good looking" entrepreneurs on stage for applause, but where's the real ecosystem to support start-ups? 💡 Where are the innovation leaders, the investments, the policies to nurture innovation beyond one flashy festival? 🎇 This is the same city that once crowned itself "City of Lights" and aimed to be "Lithium Valley" without building a single battery factory. The "Innovation Hub" at Technology Park they tout? It's more nostalgia than progress, stuck in the infrastructure of the 90s. And let's not forget the Department of Everything (officially called Jobs, Tourism, Science, and Innovation), which somehow believes pairing tourism and tech will magically create a thriving startup ecosystem. 🛴 Maybe if we ride enough electric scooters, we'll stumble into innovation, right? Perth’s real story is one of missed opportunities. Instead of fostering industries beyond mining, the state clings to its one-trick-pony economy: Digging Holes and Exporting Dirt. Meanwhile, the crony system of politics and mining giants ensures innovation remains more of a buzzword than a reality. So, WTF indeed. Is Perth truly ready to be a regional player in innovation, or is it just content with another round of empty promises and fairytales? The end? Or is it time to rewrite the story? City of Perth!

The New Mobility Services community, which brings together cities, industry, academics and association, has recently done a first analysis to understand why collaboration between scaleups and cities is relatively limited (of course, there are many great examples but there is also so much untapped potential). We now want to go deeper, and hear from entrepreneurs what challenges and barriers they face. Why? To subsequently bring cities and scaleups together to develop solutions. For all startups/scaleups in my network: please fill in this short survey (it will only take a few minutes) https://lnkd.in/eW75AQ75 This will help us improve B2G collaboration in urban mobility.
