V4 Startup Force Program – Apply Now!

Deadline: 11-Sep-22

Is your startup ready to go beyond the borders and expand in the V4 region? You are dedicated but in need of business contacts and mentoring. They are here to help you! Apply now and meet corporate partners handpicked just for you.

Join them and become one of the 20 teams that they invite to their super intensive but fun virtual Bootcamp. Workshops, business mentoring, and community events lead the way to the Demo Day after which they select the four winning teams who get to participate in the V4 Startup Force program and receive a scholarship.

The V4 Startup Force program is a four-week hybrid program during which you receive hands-on mentoring to prepare you for tailored business meetings in all four countries. The first three weeks happen online and then they finish off with offline days in Budapest.

Benefits
  • Business meetings: They organize tailored business meetings with corporates and SMEs for the final 4 teams
  • Workshops & Mentoring: hands-on, practical knowledge to fine-tune your business
  • Networking & Community: access to a colorful community of like-minded entrepreneurs
  • Scholarship: the four winning teams receive a scholarship of up to EUR 1000
What can you Expect?

The Virtual Bootcamp is their selection camp, lasting 3 intensive days. If you become one of the four winning teams (they select one startup per country), you can continue to the V4 Startup Force. The V4 Startup Force lasts for 15 workdays, over the course of 4 weeks, leaving time for you to work besides the programs provided by them.
