It was an inspiring event ✨ for those who are starting a project and for those who would like to raise investments. Mostly I liked the following ideas: -you should move your project as far as possible without VC investments; - first who should believe in a project is you and your co-founders; - you should set up limits and deadlines to measure success/failure. Many thanks PULSE! 👍 #Luxembourg #Pulse #Startups #Investments #VC #InnovationLuxembourg

"I think the Berlin Founders Program is great because it really facilitates this kind of cross-regional exchange. It's super important to cross-collaborate and connect within the startup ecosystem, but also across startup ecosystems and I think this latter part is often overlooked or not so emphasized. We need space where that is really pushed." 👏 Continuing our series on the Berlin Founders Program, part 2 is now available! Aside from the daily workshops and ecosystem visits, the 40+ participants of the program took part in a night of networking at The Drivery. The night featured a pitch session, meant to give the young founders real-life experience with pitching to a live jury, including to investors and ecosystem stakeholders. We're grateful for everyone who took part, came in and brought along great spirits and an even greater enthusiasm for collaborative growth. It is a testament to what happens when you bring people together from different backgrounds and cultures, uniting over a common goal. Thank you to Anastasiia Merkotan (Winner of the pitch night!), Federica Moreno, Kerim Šabić and Lena Bumke for their time and dedication, and sharing their insights. 👉 Dive into the experience and stay tuned for part 3. 👉 Check out part 1 here: https://lnkd.in/drJKkk5Y The project is implemented by enpact and financed by the Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe.
