A great experience. The quality of the presentations by all eleven teams was outstanding. The presentations were delivered with passion and high energy, it was actually quite entertaining and fascinating.
Startupbootcamp has developed into one of the most successful accelerator programs in Europe. The quality of the Startupbootcamp companies is high and in most cases investment grade.
I loved Startupbootcamp: superbly organized, impressive entrepreneurs, and a buzzing Copenhagen ecosystem.

LOCATIONS
FASTTRACKS
Startupbootcamp is on a mission to support the world’s top startups; regardless of stage, location, or background. We realize only a handful of startups are able to attend our 3-month accelerators. That’s why we hold a global FastTrack tour to connect as many startups as possible with the Startupbootcamp community of +2000 mentors.
Much more than just Q&A with Startupbootcamp İstanbul
▪ Short company introductions, not elevator pitches
▪ Deep, immediate insights during an intense day of 1-1 feedback from industry-expert mentors and the leaders of the Startupbootcamp İstanbul program
▪ Startupbootcamp viewed as a community support resource for startups, even if they don’t apply to our program
