It's a wrap! After three exciting months, the second cohort of the Future Founders incubation program has graduated. Supporting the teams and watching them grow has been an incredible experience. 🚀
This year, we aimed to organize a final event that was more than just a pitch competition and celebration of the finalists' achievements. We wanted to involve students and young adults who haven't yet embraced a startup mindset, giving them a taste of the entrepreneurial world. To achieve this, we partnered with Speakeasy Budapest to host a day-long business event. The day began with panel discussions on topics like crypto, self-branding, and the secrets behind startup success, culminating in the Pitch Final competition.
9 teams reached the finals, each giving their all to win the grand prize of a $25,000 angel investment from Jared Schrieber. According to the jury, PozIndoor (3rd place) and FraudShield Security (2nd place) came close, but ultimately, Noted. won the Pitch competition. Huge congratulations to them, and to all the teams who worked tirelessly and gave their absolute best! 🥳 👏
We are immensely grateful to all the mentors who supported the teams over the past month and the lecturers who equipped the Future Founders with essential skills. Special thanks to Jared Schrieber for his unwavering support and to Hungarian Innovation Hub for providing us with a venue throughout the program. 🙏
