The Startup Sauna program from Finland is returning to St. Petersburg!

For the third time, a well-known business accelerator for startups at the seed stage meets with entrepreneurs and startups from Russia.
In St. Petersburg, the selection for the program will take place on March 12 at the Interuniversity QD Business Incubator.
(In Moscow - March 14, the organizers - Digital October and the HSE Business Incubator, in Krasnodar - March 16 - the Krasnodar branch of the RSEU).
You will have the opportunity to get 1,500 euros and get a 6-week intensive session in Helsinki for free with the best western mentors, then go to Silicon Valley for a week to meet with investors, competitors and media representatives!

Before going to Finland and the USA, you will need to tell about your project in a three-minute pitch format in English on the “warm-up” of the Sauna on March 12 in QD.
Those startups that the organizers will select at the end of the pitch session will be able to communicate one-on-one with foreign experienced experts!

The Startup Sauna program, founded in 2010, is an open-source business accelerator for the most promising start-ups at the seed stage from the countries of northern Europe, the Baltic States and Russia.
It helps projects to reach the stage when they can independently enter the world market. This is a joint work of our coaches - the best serial entrepreneurs, investors and other professionals.

Passing twice a year, Startup Sauna has already helped such projects attract more than 8.2 million euros and has tested more than 500 start-up companies (as of December 2011).
The success of the program is demonstrated by the example of the Russian company Maxigen, one of the three main winners of the latest Startup Sauna (http://maxygen.ru/).
