Levelup Startup Accelerator

Over the summer we were part of two different StartUp programs which help us a lot to figure out which way we wanted to go with our idea. The two programs that we were in was StartUp Summer camp run by patteries and StartUp Passion a Nordic startup program, both of these gave us the tools we need to understand how to continue with our idea.

So, over the summer we pitched and pitched and pitched our idea to mentors and coaches, some of the coaches played nice and did not say much but other coaches said what was right and what was wrong, which helped a lot.

During StartUp Passion we went to Riga for coaching and pitching so we pitched to international business people and they gave us real world advice and also pointed out some of the problems that we could not see or not understand. During StartUp Summer Camp we pitch our idea to local business people which also gave us a lot of good feedback. Also, we got to do *Ship startup festival in Kotka where we pitched to investors, at *Ship we also got invited to LevelUp Growth Track evening, by going to the Growth Track we got asked would we like to try for the Growth Track & Startup Accelerator.

So, we did apply for it and when trough all the different stages and then went and pitched about two weeks ago and after the pitch we got told that we would know if we got in by the end of that week. So, we kept checking our email to see if we got in or not and when we got the email saying we got in, we read the email about four times just to make sure we read it right.

So now we are a part of the best Startup Accelerator programme in the Kymenlaakso area. Now it is going to harder from here on out.
