BACKGROUND INFORMATION NITRO: The Alpine Space Acceleration Event

Scaling a startup is not an easy task. Founders need to go from bootstrapping to big rounds of investment, from product-market fit to conquering new international markets. When startups start getting big enough, the founders need to start delegating even the tasks they are good at. These changes are difficult but necessary to create scalable companies. That is why at IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems, together with 9 partners in the Alpine Space, we have designed a tailored program to help startups undergo these changes.

NITRO, the Alpine Space Acceleration Program, part of the European project Scale (up) Alps, gives up to 45 selected startups and scaleups access to world-class experts, individualized feedback and the essential know-how on HR, business development and funding to bring their companies to a new level.
