Don’t just take our word for it
START has been a cornerstone in my journey into the European startup and VC scene. Through START, I connected with like-minded individuals, many of whom have gone on to become successful entrepreneurs, fellow investors, and even LPs. The opportunities fostered by START have been instrumental in shaping my career.
