Building a successful startup is about identifying opportunities and acting on them. Keep being in conversation with your customers and build what they want to buy.
Ákos Deliága
Entrepreneur in Residence,
Group Lead
As a practicing CEO and a father of 3 small kids, my time is extremely scarce and valuable. I still chose to become a resident entrepreneur and group leader in this great program as I live by the #givefirst attitude. You can expect me to be committed, attentive, direct with my feedback, authentic and demanding. I’d like to work with entrepreneurs who are self-driven, who want to achieve tangible impact and who have high ambitions. Let’s enjoy the ride as well.

You should ask your target group for feedback on your ideas as soon as possible. For this, you need to build a rapid prototype, which makes your concept testable. Each prototype test will bring new questions and new perspectives to your team’s work. In this way, you can deepen the concept, or you can iterate in a more marketable direction.

On the quest for finding eternal youth (of mind) business veterans like myself often engage an activity called mentoring. It’s unclears whether it is a social activity, a process or a passionate connection to some creative ideas. One thing for sure, the outcome is a lot of learning. Who is benefitting whether the mentee or te mentor is yet to be found out.

FAQ
This program is for teams who can dedicate their time fully to their project. Many projects start as an “after office hours project” until the founders feel ready to take the leap to fully dedicate themselves to the project. If you are not at that point yet, keep working on your project and apply when you are ready. In the meantime please feel free to register at the @STRT Academy, which provides lots of startup development related educational material.
