Connect with your mentor

1 hour per week every week for 3 months. 

You will be guided by one mentor and help you get results from a week to another. 

Because your mentor is not a superhero, you will take part in round-tables where you will meet other specialists that can help you along the way.

 

Networking and advising

Let’s transform your network in a powerful one. Through this program, you will meet corporate, investors, professionals with the scope of developing your startup to the next level.

Editable documents and ready-made systems

20% theory - 80% practice. That’s how we’ve built the program. You will learn by listening and applying. We want to put you in an entrepreneurial environment to have immediate results with your startup by using ready-made editable documents and systems. 

We apply the same percentage of 20% theory - 80% practice. During these workshops, you will learn and then use. 

Workshops

Do you want traction? First, you need to validate what you are developing. That’s why we will focus our attention more on validation sales and marketing than coding or building the platform.

We apply the same percentage of 20% theory - 80% practice. During these workshops, you will learn and then use.

Learn

Even if you are still a student or finished your studies, you should never stop learning because the world will never stop evolving. We’ve developed a database with educational resources(articles, videos, podcasts) from which you can inspire from which covers every stage of a startup.

Pitch

A great pitch without an average product will bring you average results. A great pitch with a great product will bring you immeasurable results. 

Investors

Startups need access to both pre-seed funding and mentoring, while potential investors ask: “are there any startups worth investing my time and money?” so this where Transylvania Angel Network (T.A.N.) comes in place and many other angel networks and funds in our network

After program support

During the last years, we’ve built a network with startup founders that we support along the way. So you will have access to our program called Startup House, where you will stay in touch with other startup founders, ask questions and stay updated with the latest opportunities from the startup scene.
