Welcome to our Introduction Day
Present Your Startup Haarlem 2021
Hello entrepreneur!
Welcome to our online Introduction Day! Present Your Startup Haarlem 2021 begins with the online Introduction Day on February 18th. Hopefully, we can do the Academy week (5 days) and get-together, but we will prepare a hybrid edition, so you can pick what’s best for you.
Please, try to have your (Concept) Pitch Deck ready. If you did not prepare it yet, go to the online academy, you will also see it on the left as a button. We sent you an invitation to onboard to your e-mail, if can’t find it, it may be easier if you search in your inbox with the word maester.
