THE FULL ON SILICON VALLEY EXPERIENCE, 2016

As this will be our 13th program with +100 participating startup, we are investing our full network and experience in to a blast of a program.

EXPLORE THE ECO-SYSTEM

In just one week you will learn how the Valley works. Understand how you can build your company’s legal foundation (incorporation, IP strategy, term sheets etc), how to attract your first US customers, how to get ready for and how to approach investors and partners, how to build a U.S. team etc.

GET FEEDBACK

Building a startup is one of the toughest things imaginable - and making it scale: even harder! We spend about 50% of your time with us on feedback. Your business product and strategy is in the center of attention when we put you in front of our Silicon Valley network. We guarantee top feedback you immediately can start executing on!

Ready to live your dream?

Your time with us will be intense! We will take you out for a tour around the Silicon Valley ecosystem - so you can experience how the area can contribute to your success. In the evenings we will take you to networking events, but also put you on the pitch spot - to expose your startup to investors and professionals.

ARE YOU THE NEXT?

If Silicon Valley is to make any sense for your business, you need to have a scalable business opportunity. We prefer to work with companies that have products launched, or at least are very far in the development process. Our advisory board of professionals will review all companies that sign up, and will then select the companies who they believe have the highest potential.

COME PREPARED!

If you participate in SCALEit, and if you want real value in Silicon Valley, you will need to do your homework. Before you arrive in Silicon Valley you need a one page executive and a pitch deck of about 15 slides. This material will explain your business opportunity, and this is what we will focus on during your week.

WHATS INCLUDED?

Pitch Workshops
Feedback Sessions w. advisors, entrepreneurs and investors
Seminars on doing business in Silicon Valley
Keynote speakers
Lunches and panel discussions w. experienced entrepreneurs
Network events
.. and much more!
