Road to *ship Accelerator

Road to *ship is aN acceleRator

FOR early-stage startups and individuals

The accelerator works as a stepping stone for *ship Startup Festival,
but you can also participate only in the accelerator itself.
The program is perfect if you have an IDEA and the motivation to build a business around it!

Each workshop lasts about an hour, after which the rest of the week is 1on1 -mentoring for each business idea.

After you have attended Road to *ship, you will have a Business Model Canvas** for your own business idea, and a clear picture of what you should do next in order to reach your business goals.
