Startup Pirates Budapest will be a one-week programme from February 1-8, 2014. Through a combination of training, mentoring, it helps participants develop their ideas. In the end, teams will pitch their projects to local investors and business leaders.

Startup Pirates Budapest is a one-week program that enables aspiring entrepreneurs to get inside the startup world and learn how to develop a business idea. With a very hands-on approach and the support of a large community of experienced entrepreneurs, it combines workshops and mentoring with a clear focus on accelerating the development of startups.

Over the course of the 8 day educational accelerator, participants will have the chance to attend about 8 high quality workshops (on topics such as business model, product development, pitch), be mentored by more than 20 entrepreneurs and innovators who will join us during the program, and be connected to and form relationships with more than 20 extraordinary entrepreneurs.

In the end, it gives participants the opportunity to pitch their ideas to investors and successful business leaders. After the programs, our network of partners supports the teams on their quest to thrive.
