"Startup Preschool” courses organised in cities in different countries are coming to Kaunas from 11-13 April. The course is organised by Startup Migrants in collaboration with the international deep tech community atTRACTION.
In this 3-day hands-on course, beginners, professionals and anyone who wants to start a startup will get to know the local business environment, learn how to use it to promote their business to attract customers, create an effective business plan for their business idea and even network with other business founders and investors.
"We believe that startup founders love to work! We also know that they don't just want theory", says Nicolai Strøm-Olsen, CEO of Startup Migrants. "Startup Migrants is a team based in Berlin and Oslo that helps would-be entrepreneurs to learn the basics of entrepreneurship. "At Startup Preschool, participants don't have to sit for 3 days and listen to lectures, no - they have to work and follow what they learn to achieve certain results."
"The Startup Preschool” course gives participants the opportunity to grasp the common foundations of building a business, which include assessing the fit of ideas and the ability to present a business smoothly to attract funding or clients. In addition, participants gain valuable insights into the finer points of startup operations in local ecosystems, as well as what to avoid in the entrepreneurial culture and how to navigate unfamiliar startup environments.
According to Nicolai Strøm-Olsen, in 2023 Startup Preschool was mentoring almost 600 startup founders in four countries. This has become a useful source of information and experience for the mentors, who pass on the knowledge they have gained to the participants of the follow-up courses. "We think we stand out because we are practical and international." - says Nicolai Strøm-Olsen, explaining that the mentors have been through the process of setting up a start-up and are therefore familiar with the challenges and rewards of setting up a new business.
