Testimonials

People say some pretty cool stuff about the programme, we put it here.

The startups

“SBC is more than just mentors, it’s large opportunity network which helps grow your business in EU and USA.”
Gunnars Grundstoks of Rent Mama

“Taking part in SBC was like being on a constant high: you didn’t need any sleep because you were working on your own startup, meeting Kick- Ass Entrepreneurs every day, getting mentoring from the best in the industry.”
Sarah Breilmann of Ruby & Revolver

“We had a blast launching Gruvi at SBC, the mentorship and connections enabled us to launch our product and get our first orders within 3 months … given how complex our project was i am still amazed by the quick progress we made”
Ben Johnson of Gruvi

“Startupbootcamp has been so far the greatest experience we have had as a team. It offered us the chance of a lifetime: working in a community of exceptional, experienced and, moreover, open-minded people. Attending the 3 months Startupbootcamp program is among the first things a Startup should think of.”
Ciprian Borodescu of Webcrumbz

“Startupbootcamp is an amazing incubator program with high quality mentors and great support network. I´m sure that it will continue to be a success in the startupworld.”
Einar Sigurbergsson of Unisensei

“The networking is amazing! I grew my network more in the first month of SBC than I did in the last year at my last startup. And it’s high quality top-end people you usually have to work hard to even get in contact with.”
Morten L. Jørgensen of Magma

“If Gruvi has been 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration, then SBC was 200% proof startup fuel. Startups are as much about execution as the perfect idea so time spent polishing an idea beyond “good enough” is time wasted. The mentors short sharp lessons killed prevarication and kept us on track, whilst the company of 31 other entrepreneurs turned any mountain into a mole hill.”
James Hobbis of Gruvi

“Going to SBC added a lot of practical understanding about the way companies are built and money are raised. Stuff you will not find in textbooks.”
Artas Bartas of Spockly

“SBC is all about confidence. Any entrepreneur starting in the basement, has to convince everybody they meet why their business idea is good. But Startupbootcamp actually reverses the confidence in the business idea and the team. Here entrepreneur has a network of 75 mentors that believe in the business idea until convinced otherwise. Needless to say this has a huge value in knocking down those first important doors and getting constructive feedback.”
Thomas J. Pedersen of Roozz

The Mentors

“Meeting the combination of the well-organized SBC organization and the well-chosen, enthusiastic entrepreneurs partaking in the camp, not forgetting the engaged network of mentors, makes you high on life itself.”
Thomas Mathiasen

“Coaching highly talented and motivated teams in the fuzzy frontend is always great fun. But being a mentor in SB means helping to accelerate Power Points into commercially viable companies in only a few month – it has been a BLAST!”
Rasmus Christensen

“There are many ways to explain how great SBC is, but I am not going to use my two sentences with a whole lot of ‘buzz words’. Bottom line is; If you deep down in your stomach fell like helping young, ambitious entrepreneurs succeed… well then this is your call!”
Tim Vang

“Mentoring at Startupbootcamp is a fully reinvigorating experience. It is like sipping from the fountain of youth”

Rasmus Bøegh

Working with the teams while they evolved their businesses from ideas to action was giving on a personal and professional level. A big hat tip to the SBC team!”
Natasha Friis Saxberg

“I would really recommend getting involved, for me it is about giving something back. Apart from the obvious benefits of networking with other mentors, I wasnt expecting to get too much out of it, but to my surprise I came away super energised”
Richard Anson

“It was a lot of fun helping out such an enthusiastic bunch of entrepreneurs who really grew over the short but intense period of the camp. I am already looking forward to the next one and seeing what great new ideas Alex can bring out of the wilderness”
Jeff Coe

“SBC provided me the chance to give back to the global entrepreneurial community and at the same time meet up and coming teams determined to create the next big thing as well as be connected to other mentors who share the same mindset. The organization itself exhibits the same traits I look for in companies, and I will be glad to participate for years to come.”

“Talent, enthusiasm, can-do mentality – StartupBootCamp was the place! I was really happy that I was a mentor here – both to see the future and to have brighter days!”
Hampus Jakobsson

“I attended the investor day of Startupbootcamp 2010. Having spoken to all the teams and most people in the program, I could see they were richer in expertise and experience of not just product-market fit but also keeping customer central to their plan, as a result of the SBC program. The best part was to see some teams solving some real interesting and upcoming problems with very innovative solutions”
Chirdeep Singh Chhabra

“It’s been great to meet and follow the many talented entrepreneurs at Startup Bootcamp, and it’s been an invitation to sharpen my own thinking around entrepreneurship and an opportunity to meet and connect with other inspiring mentors.”
Lars Pind

Overall, as a mentor, it is an ideal environment to watch collaboration grow into successful outcomes.”
