“That was the most intense coaching week of my life. I took a lot of things with me and now I even go home as a winner. The program is unique in its intensity in the startup scene. I can recommend every startup to apply for the next Firecamp”
“The Firecamp is the most inspiring and intensive format for the further development of innovative startup ideas i have seen in Germany so far. This week is so motivating for the founders, startup teams and mentors and ensures the exchange of valuable knowledge and experiences in professional fields. For local startups who are serious about their growth, the Firecamp is an absolute must and a highlight!”
“Please repeat that format! It’s the best format you can find in the Rhine-Neckar region.”
“We made further progress this week than the whole last year.”
“Programs like the Firecamp are just what you need to move Germany towards more innovation. For founders, it’s important not to waste too much time analyzing a problem. Instead, they have to make decisions and talk to as many people as possible to quickly find out if their idea can convince the market. That’s what we did this week.”
“Well, it’s called ‘firecamp’ for a reason. If it would be a walk in the park, we would call it ‘a walk in the park’. So grab your ideas and your toothbrush and move on.”
“The level of mentors, coaches and corporates were impressive and the content and program helped us incredibly to further shape and tailor our business. I was able to connect to many likeminded people for further networking. The organization of the program was flawless!”
“The firecamp week was a hands-on tough week, with an outcome that we would have never expected from the camp! Brilliant mentors, brilliant contacts, great organization!”
“Firecamp is the best possible preparation for the first investment round. Deep-dives with high-class-experts bring your startup to the next level.”
