Are you interested in the startup world, looking for inspiration and motivation to charge yourself with and get ready for 2021? Do you have a startup idea that could benefit from the feedback of investors and startup mentors from 4 countries?
Danube Cup 2021 suppports the commercialization of university startup projects. We are looking for teams that have already performed market research for their ideas, at least locally.
You will receive expert feedback, coaching, and a wide range of prizes to be able to grow your business.
Is this picture familiar? We know that big ideas start small. We are looking for projects that are still at the "garage" stage: you don't need a successful product or team of investors behind your back to apply for the competition. However, we do believe that the modern tools to test the validity of a business concept are worth the effort.
This event is not an idea competition. The applicants must validate the business idea among potential customers, the concept must be unique and innovative and must enjoy growth potential independently of local market trends as far as possible. Dive into the details of the rules by reading our call for participants!
You will be guided by one of our partner mentor programs (Start It at K&H, StartupVIP)
We will award the best ideas with a prize pool worth 500k forints.
We are deeply rooted in the budapest startup ecosystem. Get ready for meetings with investors, consultants and other experts!
Selected startup teams may receive invitation to investment talks from distinguished angel and VC investors.
