What others say
The Minc community helped me in my startup journey more than I could ever imagine. Not only practical advice on business models, sales, and strategies, but also by giving real emotional support and understanding what the entrepreneurial journey is about. I am forever grateful for the experience!
Minc has given us an opportunity to create a community with colleagues who are also on this entrepreneurial journey to share and grow alongside each other. Being a part of the start up labs program has expanded our professional network so much, and given us the advice and support we needed to grow our business.
Minc is a fundamental part of our ongoing journey by being a source for outstanding coaching, guidance and continuous inspirational and motivational boosts, all crucial for the success of any startup. We can only imagine where we would have been if we didn’t get in contact with Minc!
