Hopes is the “UBERIZATION” for the distribution of green energies.
How did you first hear about Luxinnovation and our Fit 4 Start programme?
We heard about Fit 4 Start through different channels such as LinkedIn, Events and a chat with a Luxinnovation employee.
What was your biggest achievement?
So far, we can name two things as our biggest achievements: First, we truly became a team that works as one and second, we secured some key partnerships for our start-up project.
Name 3 things you especially like about the Fit 4 Start programme:
- Coaching
- Reputation
- Clear objectives
What did you learn so far by participating in the Fit 4 Start programme?
We arrived to the programme with a good idea and now we will graduate with a real start-up business. We learned to focus on one project at a time, to start small and then to grow gradually. We learned to make a clear market research and to test different approaches to market.
What are the upcoming challenges for your start-up?
Our next big goal is to graduate successfully from Fit 4 Start and secure the full amount of 150,000 Euro funding from the Ministry of the Economy.
