On the 18th of June, ScaleNL, in collaboration with YES!Delft and Erasmus Enterprise co-hosted a startup competition event at Rotterdam. The event was all about scaling up your startup by partnering with companies in the US. Last year Lethabo Motsoaledi joined Scale NL on this trip and she shared her lessons learned and the effect this trip had on their business. Vivienne Ming and Ryan Patel took it to the next level in their Ask Me Anything session, and identifying their pointers to “bridging your succes” as entrepreneur. Valuable lessons about storytelling, being authentic and packaging your message.
In total, 6 startups: Asimovo, Starnus, Arceon, Praxa Sense, Hoursec and Fibersail pitched on a stage for the jury, consisting of Lars Crama, Lethabo Motsoaledi, Rui Li and Ryan Patel competing for a ticket to the “East Coast 2024” accelerator program provided by ScaleNL.
Michael Dooijes and Jorn Poldermans closed this event with a more detailed story on the journey they provide with the Netherlands Consulate in San Francisco and liaisons throughout the USA.
Praxa Sense won the competition and will travel to Boston and New York in December 2024. Congrats to Leonard and the team and good luck in the USA!
