Preliminary Schedule:

Please note that the program will be in English, but coaching and mentoring may be in English or Finnish – depending on your own preference.

The program starts on the 12.3.2024 and runs for 6 weeks with one weekly coaching session on every Tuesday at 16:00 leading up the Ship Startup Festival.

During the program, you will learn basics of pitch presenting and get a chance to practice your skills.

The program is open for early-stage founders who either have started working on their fresh idea, or only have the idea written on a napkin. All you need is the motivation to learn about pitching and what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Completing the program gives you everything you need to be confident about pitching in the *ship Startup Festival Pitch Captain competition for your chance to win fame, glory —and a cash prize!

Program is run by Tuukka Ylälahti, a serial start-up entrepreneur with a decade of experience in pitching, pitch coaching, and judging in pitching competitions.
