Networking

When starting a business it is crucial to grow and maintain a network of people and organizations that can support you throughout your journey.
In the beginning, it is great to connect with like-minded peers who may be a few steps ahead and can share their experiences. Later on, you might need some business advice from established coaches or get market knowledge from an industry mentor. If you encounter any questions regarding your technology or specific aspects of your product, our network includes experts from our affiliated universities and colleges who are ready to assist you.
Under [“Funding”](/navigator/funding) you will find the people in the collaeb community who can get you in touch with investors. Our events and programs are great ways to expand your network and find people that will accompany you on your journey.
