VentureGarden puts the emphasis on people, not ideas

Participants become familiar with common tools for the implementation of business ideas.

 

Those who want to implement their idea directly can, based on the preparation they have done in VentureGarden, join incubators, seek funding or seek support from complementary ecosystem actors.

They said about us

VentureGarden opened new horizons for me and through it I met other people who want to develop their business idea, but also people who have already developed their business idea and continue to give advice and inspiration to younger people. It is a laboratory for research and development of business ideas.

What does VentureGarden mean to me? Something promising. New ideas, new people - new acquaintances, who help in their own way in the development of my idea and also turn it into something different, which time will show what.

VentureGarden made me understand that my activity has enough future, even through the program I met people from my industry, who we have been working with until now, finally the friction with the other participants helped me a lot in understanding that not everything has to be perfect to launch a product, as long as you do it.
