Startup Readiness Program has officially started

12.

june 2024.

We have started the Montenegro Startup Readiness Program today in collaboration with the Science and Technology Park.

The program consists of five modules and is led by Stephan Botz, a Startup Development Trainer from the Netherlands.

This is the preparatory phase of the MTSB, during which the top seven out of the 15 selected startups from the WB6 region will be integrated into the Digital Den portfolio. The finalists will engage in the forthcoming Acceleration and SoftLanding programs as part of our fourth generation.

This program is specifically tailored for early-stage startups with a potentially repeatable and scalable idea featuring a significant tech component. It helps participants clearly define their problem statements and gain better insights into potential customers, while also helping them avoid common mistakes made by first-time startup founders. The program is based on the StartupFramework developed by Gritd and will run until July 31.

We extend our best wishes to the founders of selected startups, encouraging their full commitment, presence, and effort throughout the program.
