Celebrating a Meaningful Contribution to Seeds of Bravery
Through this initiative, Aalto Startup Center has had the privilege to work alongside remarkable founders from Ukraine, providing hands-on guidance in strategy, go-to-market, fundraising readiness, and business resilience — often under extraordinary circumstances. Their determination and entrepreneurial spirit continue to inspire us.
Seeds of Bravery exemplifies how European collaboration can turn solidarity into tangible impact, empowering innovation-driven startups when they need it most. We are proud to have contributed our expertise to this program and to stand alongside a strong network of European partners, mentors, and institutions committed to long-term value creation.
This is what one of the participants from the Summer School on Entrepreneurship had to say about their experience in this course:
"During these two weeks, I learned so many valuable things that will significantly contribute to the development of my startup. We worked on our pitch deck, built a lean canvas, and practiced pitching our presentations, which helped me improve both my confidence and communication skills."
We extend our sincere thanks to the Seeds of Bravery consortium, our fellow advisors, and the founders who placed their trust in Aalto Startup Center. These collaborations reaffirm our mission to support founders building meaningful, resilient, and globally relevant ventures.
As this chapter closes, Aalto Startup Center remains committed to fostering entrepreneurship, innovation, and international cooperation across Europe and beyond.
