Pitching
Cohorts of 2-3 startups allow for a more individual approach. The Blue Lake network will offer a community of startups, mentors, investors, and innovators that can support participants for life. The fast-paced environment will see founders emerge more experienced, knowledgeable, committed, and ready to raise their early round.
This is a free programme and there are no fees nor equity required from applicants. The benefits don't stop after the pitching sessions in week 12 either. Blue Lake will continue supporting successful graduates through introductions and light mentoring. You will be part of the Blue Lake Club for life!
