Greetings from the heart of innovation! We're excited to share our experiences from the first three weeks at Startupbootcamp, a program known for its ability to compress two years of growth into just three months. As we wrap up our third week, we're amazed at the progress we've made and eager to share our journey with you.
The Power of Mentorship
This week, aptly named "Mentor Week," was a whirlwind of connections and insights. The highlight was the "Mentor Meets Startup" event, where we had the opportunity to engage with a diverse group of experts, experienced founders, and investors.
The event kicked off with each startup delivering a concise one-minute pitch, followed by an open forum where mentors circulated to discuss ideas and offer guidance. We had the privilege of conversing with numerous inspiring individuals, many of whom expressed interest in getting involved with our startup. We're thrilled about the potential collaborations and synergies that may arise from these connections.
Our Week in Review
Here's a snapshot of our productive week:
- 🤝🏼 Met in person with the other startups participating in the program
- 💬 Refined and practiced our one-minute pitch
- 📈 Attended valuable masterclasses on Acceleration and Sales
- ✨ Got to meet and interact with possible startup mentors.
- 🎙️ Featured in a Startupbootcamp podcast discussing Sustainability
- 📸 Participated in a professional photo shoot
- 💻 Enhanced our website with more comprehensive content
Tech demo for an Audience
We have shown our WISEPIM Dashboard for a live audience. It was great to showcase the product that we have worked so hard for.
A Global Community of Innovators
Startupbootcamp currently runs three programs, each with ten carefully selected startups:
- AI & Web3 (The one we are in)
- Deeptech & Robotics
- Agriculture & Food
These startups represent a truly global community, with participants hailing from Chile, Colombia, Singapore, Spain, the UK, and beyond. While we had previously interacted in online meetings, the experience of meeting face-to-face was invaluable.
There's a genuine sense of community among the startups. Despite working on diverse projects, we share common challenges and a willingness to support one another. It's fascinating to learn about the various problems each startup is tackling.
We attend the same masterclasses and workshops, creating ample opportunities to share knowledge and experiences. The culture here is unique and exciting, fostering an environment of collaboration and mutual growth.
Looking Ahead
The week concluded with a social event where we reflected on our experiences and the intense but rewarding nature of the program. We're looking forward to the next in-person week when all the startups will reunite to continue this exciting journey.
Last but not least...
We wish you all great success on your e-commerce journey!
The founders,
Diego, Pieter en Paul
Stay tuned for more updates as we progress through the Startupbootcamp program. We're eager to share our growth, challenges, and successes with you along the way.
