Connecting Nordic Startups with Silicon Valley – TINC 2020 is virtual!
Blog post written by Katja Kotala, Advisor at Business Finland Silicon Valley
2020 has been a year like no other and we are seizing this opportunity to try something new. This fall TINC Accelerator Program for Nordic startups is going online!
We are very much committed to supporting Nordic entrepreneurs in getting into the Silicon Valley mindset and validating their business models amongst the chaos, and excited to pilot this virtual way of connecting Nordics with Silicon Valley.
The 4-week program was kicked off today on Monday Oct 26 with a group of nine ambitious companies, who were joined by our mentors and team on Zoom. We have already done plenty of work with our pitch coach Nathan Gold, who has prepped the teams to nail down their elevator pitch and that training will continue throughout the program. It is not enough to have a great product, you also need to be able to communicate what you do and captivate your audience!
After several rounds of introductions and getting to know one another, the whole group is ready to embark on one-on-one mentor meetings and series of workshops on finding focus, defining goals, scaling sales and more.
Welcome new TINC batch to the virtual Silicon Valley!
