Meet the Startup Connect Fellows
This program brings together startups around the world for an interactive and action-driven coaching experience to navigate startup & scale-up finance. The most successful startups have two things in common: They attract the best talent and build relationships with investors early on in their journey.
The program graduates will present their innovative solutions, meet investors and connect with the global entrepreneurship ecosystem at the Future of Impact Summit.
