“Very relevant program brought by experienced players in the start-up scene with a great energy. Intense program, but time very well spent!”

Noel Jans, Chief & Technology Knight

“We were very interested in the Investment Readiness Programme. In addition to the

various themes covered with specialists (legal, financial, communication...), we got

precious feedback from European mentors and were also happy to connect with a dynamic community of international mobility startups.”

Benjamin Persiani, Co-founder and CTO of Avatar Mobilité

“As Cezigue was our first entrepreneurial adventure, going through the IRA program was a strong accelerator in terms of both knowledge and support.  Thanks to the very interesting interventions, the audits, and training we were able to organize our company in order to face the future challenges and really prepare ourselves to face investors. Special thanks to the Connectology team for their availability and strong support and Matt C. Smith, a fantastic host. Not to mention the other start-ups from the cohort that boost motivation and open a bit your horizon in a phase you are focused on your company and market. You are not alone. I would recommend everyone to go through IRA, the value you will grasp is worth the time invested.” 

Sebastien Tricoire, CEO  

“The Investment Readiness Programme is the best accelerator for startups raising

capital. It has a no-nonsense scrutiny approach that really pushes you to grow as a

startup, and at the end of it, you will have challenged old assumptions and evolved to

the next level. The team and mentors have helped us build a strong foundation, and the

program has attracted a lot of investment opportunities & contacts.”

Emma Garatea, CEO of Cocoon

“The EIT Investor Readiness Programme was very practical, informative and inspiring.

Everything was incredibly well organised with great and experienced speakers. One

sentence that stood out to me was the following: Be kind to yourself, startup life is an

ongoing process.”

Joshua Vasilda, Co-founder of Dych

“The IRA program has been extremely useful for us in order to develop our startup further in

terms of investment, partnership and commercial opportunities in the field of smart cities and urban mobility.

With the support of the EIT and Connectology, we feel empowered to bring

our product to the next level”.

Llogari Casas, Co-founder

“It has been an intense program with continuous learning opportunities with fresh perspectives. We have been connected to many mentors who supported us all through the process and beyond. IRA was an amazing experience for us.” 

Lal Polater, Co-founder

“Thank you, Vladyslav and the Connectology team.

The Investment Readiness Programme was very useful, the network of speakers and

coaches was high quality, and it was great to meet other mobility startups. The

coordination was also very well handled. Well done.”

Mira Mclean, COO of Metafleet

“The Investment Readiness Accelerator (IRA) is what I was looking for as an entrepreneur. Thanks to IRA Academy, run by Connectology, I had the chance to know more about social, legal, financial and psychological issues related to investments. I am looking forward to opening my first fundraising round…”
