Beginning of October PRANAGEO joined Startup Istanbul at the Istanbul Technical University and the Volkswagen Arena. It was three days of an energetic atmosphere where start-up entrepreneurs, mentors and investors came together to get education and mentoring for running and expanding a start-up. PRANAGEO was invited to join as they had made it through the eight-finals of the start-up contest. For 2 days we participated in different kind of presentations and bigger workshops to improve our start-up and maturing our idea’s. These 2 days where held in the Istanbul Technical University which was a really inspiring environment where young entrepreneurs, experienced mentors, investors and the crew of start-up Istanbul had a great program about all the facets of how to growth as a start-up were presented. Speakers had expertise in the area of financial, law, market, investments and former start-up entrepreneurs who sold their company.
