Да, я взволнована тем, что мы выиграли Startup Battle на этой неделе. Но в основном я хочу, чтобы мои друзья-предприниматели знали, что это событие действительно великолепно. Все Жюри очень впечатляющие активные инвестора - и все они были очень увлечены вопросами и ответами. Подготовка события была великолепной, и все компании, которые участвовали в Битве, были выдающимися. Если у вас есть возможность принять участие в одном из этих событий, сделайте это!

Главное, чем бы я хотела поделиться, событие превзошло все наши ожидания.

Место было действительно наполнено заинтересованной аудиторией, и это создало правильное эмоциональное состояние для стартапов, которые выступали и для зрителей. Мы встретили несколько потенциальных инвесторов и приобрели очень ценные связи во время нетворка после питч сессии.

Через 1 месяц мы все еще на связи с теми, кого встретили на Startup Battle и совместно работаем над развитием Third Opinion Care.

Мы обязательно рассмотрим возможность участия в следующих мероприятиях, организованных этой командой.

После принятия участия в Битве Стартапов, которая была организована Startup.Network в Силиконовой Долине, мы получили колоссальный опыт как построить свой стартап и привлечь инвесторов. Особенно приятно было поговорить с МС. Он дал множество советов. Если бы не это мероприятия, мы бы их точно никогда не услышали. Потом мы активно работали над поиском инвесторов, которых мы всё-таки нашли. Потом был этап юридического аудита, на котором мы поняли, что мы не хотим инвестиций на раннем этапе. Еще один совет от Майка Сандлера, его критика если быть точным, помогла нам найти правильный путь. На данный момент у нас есть несколько инвесторов из числа хирургов, но пока мы управляем самостоятельно.

Теперь у нас есть MVP, который представляет собой не просто набор инструментов, но и есть хирургическим роботом. Производство первичного продукта происходит на Тайване. На этом этапе он находится на стадии сертификации.

Если кто-нибудь спросит меня, нужны ли мне какие-либо инвестиции на ранних стадиях, я скажу «нет». Намного важнее развивать правильный нетворк и получать правильные советы.
Все, что произошло, это заслуга Startup.Network!

Привет!
Мы участвовали в двух мероприятиях Startup Network - в Москве (Битва Стартапов Ритейл) и в Mountain View (Silicon Valley Startup Battle).

В Москве заняли 1-е место и получили внимание прессы, инвесторов. Были дельные советы и встречи с несколькими инвесторами.

В Силиконовой Долине заняли 3-е место и прямо на мероприятии Марвин Ляо (партнёр 500 Startups) пригласил нас в акселератор. Знакомство с Марвином нам помогло ещё раз, уже в России.

С удовольствием будем участвовать в мероприятиях Startup Network и далее!

Спасибо.

Привет!

Мы участвовали в ряде мероприятий Startup.Network: в Москве, Питере, Минске, Алматы, Харькове, а также приняли участие в Startup Battle в Сан Франциско.

Полагаю, это помогло нам пройти отбор из более чем 1000 претендентов в акселерационную программу в Голландии, где мы были единственным стартапом из Восточной Европы.

Мероприятия очень хороши для развития нетворка и получения обратной связи. В частности, отзывы инвестора из Долины, которые мы получили на Startup Battle, помогли нам нащупать более интересную нишу и сделать pivot проекта. С радостью, продолжим сотрудничество со Startup Network!
