The best way to move from corporate to a startup? Attend startup events. This week at the Superconnectors event several startups were sharing an ask to specfically recruit from corporate. My point is, if you want to move from corporate to a startup or a scaleup attending events like this is your best bet. There is nothing like F2F connection.

Over the last few months we were amazed by all the different startups that enrolled and wanted to take part in the Birdhouse Tech in Belgium & AgeTech in Europe program. Last week, 57 of them got the chance to pitch in front of our jury of experts.  Each vertical got their own tailored jury. We even had some AgeTech jury members joining us from Germany, Switzerland & the UK. 🚝🛬 Since it’s a big opportunity to bring your pitch live, we’re very happy that we were able to meet 41 startup teams in person. This gave them the opportunity to meet all pitching founders during dedicated dinners for each vertical. Not only the pitching startups could meet, but they even got the chance to have conversations with some Birdhouse Tribe members.

I've been doing some research on startup accelerator models and find myself wondering: How healthy is it to house so many startups under one roof/space and in close proximity? How close is too close? How many events, activities and groups photos is too many? Accelerator are diversified enough to gain from the exchange of experiences and from the influence those founders will have on each other, but is it in the best interest of the founders. If it is good for founders then why are most programs just 4 months long? It would be interesting to compare the most successful accelerators with the mediocre ones when it comes this.
