Ment2Grow

Ment2Grow is a six-month acceleration programme in Prague for Czech B2B startups with global ambitions. It runs from January to June, with a kick-off event and matchmaking with mentors in December. Each cohort has a maximum of 15 startups, about one third of the applicants. Startups work with a personal mentor and join workshops on pitching, law, sales, investor relations, foreign expansion and talent management. The programme ends with a Pitch Night in front of more than 150 guests, including investors, and also includes speed business meetings and international business trips. Participants pay their share of 60,000 CZK for the six months, with a money-back guarantee if they are not satisfied. Applicants fill in a detailed form and take part in an initial video interview. The programme runs from the Opero business hub in Prague 1 and has a community of more than 100 alumni startups, including Rossum, Whalebone, Recombee and Meiro.
