How does a startup accelerator work? Let's get into B4i
It's wonderful to return to your university after so many years, and even more wonderful to do so by discovering a project I'm truly proud of as an alumnus.
The sixth call for startups for B4i (Bocconi's startup acceleration program) will close on June 26th, and I took the opportunity to meet with Nico Valenti, the project's Director, to understand the profile of the winning startup at the end of the screening process for an acceleration program.
I'm really curious to know who among you has applied, or who would like to apply, in the last 10 days.
So, write the name of your startup or a startup you'd like to see in the program in the comments, and let's see if I can give you some advice on how to best plan your application.
If you simply want to help me with my project of highlighting the most exciting and interesting projects in our startup ecosystem, all I ask is a like on the video and a subscription to my YouTube channel!
