From showcasing excited entrepreneurs to hosting experienced investors, the Demo Day of the SeedUP Accelerator program was a quick snapshot of what the entrepreneurship ecosystem will look like in the near future.

As mentioned in my former blog, the SeedUP Program is custom-designed for startups emerging from Eskişehir and Bilecik specifically with an aim to develop the local region while acting as a bridge to connect and network with international markets. Also, the major goals of the program are to increase the number of innovative entrepreneurship and to provide necessary mentorship not only for the company foundation but also to maintain the company for new entrepreneurs. Since it was supported by various institutions like government universities, technology transfer offices, and development agencies, the representatives from all the institutions reviewed the progress made by the cohort in the mentorship program.

The Demo Day was far more intense than we anticipated. We practiced our pitches a lot and got amazing support from the Anac staff. They had set global best practices in the delivery of the entrepreneurship program and the comments and positive feedback received from the startups and mentors is a testament to the fact that they were able to achieve their goal.

As an ed-tech startup, we had the chance to pitch our business idea to prospective angel investors from various networks. With the high number of positive feedback that we received, we are more than excited to continue our conversations beyond the demo day and are looking forward to long partnerships. Let’s build the future together!
