Opinions about Startup
"It was a brilliant idea to apply to Startup, not just because we were voted the best startup project, but because the training programme completely changed the way we look at our innovation. The training we received in public speaking was also very valuable. Even though I’m used to giving presentations at research conferences, communicating a business idea is something else entirely."
Christer Ericsson, founder of Liquid Biopsy
"We had a business idea we wanted to develop, so Startup was the perfect programme for us. The course maintained an incredibly high standard and the coaches had solid experience. It was also a lot of fun to hear other people's stories – both those of guest speakers and of the other participants."
Anna Wiberg, Innventia
"To be selected to best Startup project was very surprising, since so
many impressing projects were participating in the program. Startup has
given me insight in a whole news world and access to a new way of
thinking. I am now convinced my project really will succeed!"
Ragnar Slunga, QuakeLook
"Startup has taken us from primarily focusing on technology to thinking
like business people. We have learned how to identify potential
customers and understand our future markets. The program has also fueled
our creativity and inspiration. It is highly inspiring to take part in
other projects and ideas and see how they will develop their
inventions."
Rolf Ljunggren and Rüdiger Eichler, founders Woodroll
"Startup gave us a very important network of contacts that sped up starting our company."
Sven Lindström, CEO Midsummer AB
"Generally speaking the teachers were top-notch and above all else we
learned a lot about sales. Having an MBA, I know a lot about business
plans, but nothing about sales."
Niss Jonas Carlsson, founder and CEO Vocab
