What’s the #1 reason startups fail? One simple word: money 💰 Around 38% of startups run out of cash and fail to secure the necessary funding to continue.
This is especially challenging in the pre-seed and seed stages when you're still finding product-market fit and gaining initial traction. When early-stage founders ask me about funding options, I always recommend accelerators. A standout opportunity is the StartUp Hub Poland Booster, a program designed to accelerate your startup’s growth, connect you with investors and business partners, and provide mentorship from experienced experts 🎯
🆓 Why join? You can access non-repayable grants of up to 400,000 PLN to test technologies, expand your business in Poland, or scale globally. The program also offers expert guidance, networking opportunities, and market visibility, plus the chance to collaborate with leading industry specialists to ensure your success.
Don’t miss this opportunity to grow your startup and secure funding! Apply till September 8: https://polandbooster.pl
