“I have participated in very high level accelerators and incubators yet the Energy Camp experience is exciting in a different way. It personalizes the experience and provides specific feedback that each startup in the cohort needs.”

“I have now participated in several startup programs. Startup|Energy was important for me in a special way: Because the coaches are experienced entrepreneurs who have accompanied me for a long time (and still do!). The exchange with the other startups also helps a lot. We have now become a real startup community!”
