Join us for our Testing Afternoon!

“Your decisions are only as good as your information.”
– Salim Virani, co-author The Mom Test

We invite you to join us on May 14th at 16:00 hrs for our Testing Afternoon event. As part of our ongoing student program, seven promising student startups have been selected to participate, and this event will offer them a valuable opportunity to test their startup ideas.

Why test?

For newly founded startups, validating their idea is crucial to ensure that what they are building is actually wanted or needed by your target market. By gathering feedback early on, startup founders can steer in the right direction and avoid wasting time and resources on something that won’t succeed. Moreover, when investors see that an idea has been validated by real customers, they’re more inclined to support the startup financially.

And you can help our student startup with validating their ideas during our testing afternoon!

What can you expect?

We’ll start at 4 PM with a short presentation about our incubator. During this presentation, we’ll tell you a little bit more about how we help startups bring their ideas to the market. Moreover, our student startups will introduce themselves. After that, you’ll have the chance to visit the stands of our young entrepreneurs and provide them with feedback on their ideas. We’ll conclude the afternoon with networking drinks.

Program (free walk-in)

16:00 – Short presentation about UtrechtInc + introducing student startups
16:15 – Startup market
17:15 – Networking drinks (until 18:00)

NEXT EVENT: Fall ’24

Meet Your Co-Founder XL is a live national matchmaking event to find a promising tech start-up to join or to find a co-founder that can strengthen your tech company.

The edition in April is for startups in Life Sciences & Health and takes place in Leiden.

During this day you will get the opportunity to either pitch your startup or present yourself to potentially find a talent match made in heaven. Our hosting partners, mostly tech incubators, indicated that it is a challenge for startup founders to build the right team and find the right talent.

For whom?

Are you a promising tech startup with a leadership vacancy? Or are you ready to strengthen an innovative startup with your superpowers? Ideally we introduce as many opportunities to you as possible.

Application process

The application is closed for this edition. The next edition will take place after summer. We will announce the date as soon as we start preparing for the next event.
