Description
Start-ups are often regarded as the lifeblood of innovation, introducing disruptive ideas that challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what is possible. But behind every successful start-up, there is a support system working tirelessly to fuel growth and unlock their potential. Accelerators and investors, beyond mere financial backing, provide start-ups with a blend of mentorship, guidance, and resources. They serve as a guiding compass, navigating founders through the treacherous waters of early-stage development.

But how do accelerators and investors go beyond the numbers? What opportunities can they provide start-ups? And how do they identify those that possess the power to shape our future for the better? Guests: Mark Durno, Co Founder of the global accelerator and investor, Rockstart Priya Bhullar, COO & Co Founder, Planboo  Philippe Birker, Co-Founder, Climate Farmers John Smedegaard, CEO and Co-Founder, Cordulus
