TechStars, 500 Startups, Seedcamp, and 3TS Capital are just some of the names who will be in Bucharest.
Workshops, one-to-one meetings and experience mentors
Latest stats show that year over year, 35% of the startups that attended Startup Spotlight managed to close important deals as a result of participating in this program. Numerous mentors gave valuable information and feedback to all the teams who later found it much useful during their startup voyage.
Startup Spotlight is currently looking for startups that have been working on their product for less than two years, have developed a prototype and haven’t received more than 100.000 euro in funding. Also, one of the co-founders has to be from the CEE and at least part of the team should currently reside in the region.
