JICbooster brought us a lot of positive things. What we valued most was access to mentors we could choose someone who was agreat fit for out needs. In fact, we still have regular meeting with a few people who help us fine tune our business strategy, for example when we are going to a trade fair and need to work out how to present ourselves. We are really grateful for that.

We joined JICbooster when we had an idea for a new start-up. Veronika Štěpánková and Radim Kocourek gave us specific tips on how to refine our business plan, we fine-tuned our personas, and they also helped us with the financial plan. All of this contributed to us being able to secure investors – and in the end, JIC Ventures became one of them.

When we applied to JICbooster, we had no idea what a boost it would give our start-up. We gained a lot of valuable contacts. We also really clicked with our mentors, Veronika and Martin. After every meeting, we left with great ideas and practical input on how not to polish something to perfection, but to get into practice quickly. At the same time, there was constant pressure on us - in ihe best possible sense - not to rest on out laurels. And we really appreciated that.
