Update Cohort 2!

04.03.21

We’ve been busy! And with that we also mean the Cohort 2 of the Pre-Acceleration Programme. Over the past weeks, the students had the pleasure to listen to several guest speakers who spoke about topics such as critical thinking by Henry Henrysson, microfinance by Michael from GGEM and marketing & branding by Ajara Marie Bomah. 

We’re very grateful for the time and dedication the guest speakers have given to the start-ups, and we’re looking forward to seeing them back during our next cohort!
