The challenges that a startup faces are almost endless:

🔷 determining the right strategy

🔷 ensuring the product-market fit

🔷financing the operations and achieving a stable cash flow

🔷 hiring the right team

🔷 legal and regulatory hurdles

🔷 creating a strong brand name

🔷 standing out from competitors

🔷 maintaining contacts with key customers and suppliers

🔷 scaling at the right pace

🔷 deciding whether to scale up organically or through M&A

🔷 maintaining culture and values during growth

Luckily enough there is help to be found - business angels, investors, accelerators and incubators, government grants and loans, crowdfunding platforms, coworking spaces, networking events, mentorship networks, advisers and consultants, others who have already been through the same journey and - dare we say - chambers of commerce!

During this event you will meet both exciting startups and those who can offer assistance in the process of scaling up, from startups to unicorns.
