We held a webinar on the topic of “Commercialization of Technological Startups.”
During the webinar, Serhat Duyar, a startup mentor from “Bilişim Vadisi,” shared his experience on this subject.
Have you heard startups say, “we’re already in the acceleration stage”?
But what does acceleration mean?
Acceleration is the phase where startups that have tested their idea and are ready to grow gain speed.
At this stage, teams:
meet with investors
strengthen market strategies
refine sales and marketing plans
focus on realistic goals with mentor support
In simple terms, acceleration is the moment when a startup is not just starting, but preparing to grow.
What do you think is the most important factor for a startup at this stage — mentorship, market strategy, or investor support?
The #Green_and_Digital_Silk_Road international acceleration program is successfully expanding its scope of influence within the #Startup_School_3 project, implemented at the initiative of the Enterprise Azerbaijan portal, operated by the Center for Analysis of Economic Reforms and Communication.
