Growth never happens alone.
Impact neither.
Looking for leverage? Fine. We offer three different opportunities for ambitious full time founders
to present their businesses to an engaged audience of leaders and decision makers from global brands.
Which one is right for you depends on how much progress your startup already achieved.
Definition first.
What is a startup?
To make sure our startup opportunities are actually relevant for you and your company,
we suggest you to follow this definition by Paul Graham. It is crucial for our decision.
„ A startup is a company designed to grow fast. Being newly founded does not in itself make a company a startup. Nor is it necessary for a startup to work on technology, or take venture funding, or have some sort of ‚exit‘. The only essential thing is growth.
Everything else we associate with startups follows from growth. (…)
To grow rapidly, you need to make something you can sell to a big market.
That’s the difference between Google and a barbershop. A barbershop doesn’t scale. “
Paul Graham
