Europe’s leading startup acceleration program to coach 15 teams next to the Hungarian border

10.000 € investment from Europe’s leading early stage investor Pioneers Ventures, access to the legendary Pioneers’19 in Vienna and media coverage – all those goodies awaits the participants of the next Startup Live Program in Eisenstadt connecting the Austrian and Hungarian startup ecosystem.

Turning an idea into a business is the goal of the mini-acceleration program Startup Live. In just one weekend, startup founders and those who are eager to become one learn everything from business modeling to the perfect pitch. They meet mentors and experts from the startup industry and they have the opportunity to pitch in front of renowned European investors.

IT’S ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND THE LASTING EXPERIENCE

You can definitely feel the real excitement of teams, sitting from the early breakfast until the late night, giving every last drop of energy of pulling the whole thing as far as possible and then enjoying the final pitches.

What stays are the connections and the whole experience.

“What I find interesting about Startup Live is that when you look at the attendees of previous events you find people that worked on ideas and met new people and had a great time. When you look at what they do now you will find companies like Runtastic, mySugr, Qriously, Codeship, Shpock, PSPDFKit, Blossom and many others. This is the substrate for the region’s innovation engine.” says Thomas Schranz, CEO of Blossom and frequent mentor at Startup Live Programs.
