This is Startup Play
Startup Play consists of two different parts: the personal coaching and the interactive sessions.
You will receive coaching from our experienced coaches and Activation Manager Sander Kuin. During these sessions, you will receive the guidance you need to get the most out of the program. We go deeper into your idea, find out the “why,” but also ask the right questions for your personal development.
There are a total of 5 interactive sessions to make your idea concrete. So you work on issues and look together with the other participants at what you encounter and how you work on (entrepreneurship) problems. This way you learn from each other and help each other. After each session, join us for the best networking drinks in Leiden!
