The culmination of the programme is the highly anticipated Demo Day, a unique platform designed for participants to showcase and pitch their innovative business ventures to influential and strategic investors – and hopefully get one or more investments to help boost the business.
As a participant, you will receive unique insights on relevant topics and have ongoing discussions with mentors and other participants regarding your situation.
*Patron mentors is a unique setup offering a close-tie mentorship from selected accelerator mentors, providing a (close to) daily guidance and advisory.
The Catalyser programme is meticulously planned to help the participants boost their businesses and gain new and relevant knowledge. Below you can see the weekly workshop subjects and get to know a little bit more about the objectives.
When completing the workshops, you get the chance to pitch to the coolest investors at Demo Day. Learn more about the Demo Day programme below the workshops.
