The Bootcamps are the kick-off events of Impact Startup Factory, where you:
gather your energy and meet co-founders
get clear about your beach-head market
set out a plan to measure how valuable are you actually for them
After enrolling in the program, confirmed participants will attend the bootcamps either in Bucharest, either in Cluj-Napoca, depending on your choice. Pitch or join teams, design business models with support from mentors and get ready to go on a Market Expedition to understand real customer needs
Impact Hub Bucharest
8th – 10th of July
Impact Hub Cluj-Napoca
1st – 3rd of July
At the end of each bootcamp, the participating teams will pitch in front of a jury and 10 teams from each bootcamp will advance to the next stage of Impact Startup Factory.
Please note that, while the costs of the bootcamp and meals during the event are covered by the organisers, any travel & accommodation expenses will be covered by the participants.
