I thank Founders Space for one of the best months of my life!
The instructors were excellent. They taught topics that I did not know existed. The mentors were top-notch; they provided step-by-step guidance on how to market the company’s products. The other entrepreneurs were very helpful.
We traded ideas on how to improve our businesses. My company went into the training with one line of business. We completed the program with five ways to make money, using the same platform.
The 4 week program at Founders Space was amazing and certainly much better than I had expected.
Steve Hoffman, the mentors, and the pitch and mixer event itself were all inspiring and truly helpful to adjust and tweak our strategy and aspects of fund raising as well as communications.
Within those four weeks we have networked at a higher level and with more strategic partners than in the entire 6 months of business development in Germany after founding the company.
Trying to turn a business idea into reality is a huge task! As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to focus on the product because you are probably passionate about it. But you will need much more than passion for your product to create an investable business.
Founders Space “gives it to you straight” and does not waste a lot of time. They bring you up to speed on all issues you need to be aware of and help you develop a realistic path forward with value creating contingency plans.

We’re sorry to say that SEO isn’t something you can do once and forget about it. The good news is that good SEO doesn’t require high-level, technical work.
Founders Space serves as our anchor point, which has allowed us to pivot from our initial idea of just a UK property Crowdfunding Platform.
Through Founders Space’s mentors, we were able to connect with people that became interested in our business and establish partnerships with them.
Founders Space not only opened doors and opportunities for us, but it also helped us fine tune our business model. Initially we planned to launch only in the UK, but we now plan to launch in US as well.

I am in business for quite some years, but the time at Founders Space was one of the best business experiences I ever had.
Under the lead of Steve Hoffman, a group of fantastic instructors and mentors is sharing experience and knowhow – all with the goal to make the startups participating in the program better. And it was really impressing to recognize the development of all the participants in the program.
Steve Austin, Scott Gray did an amazing job to guide us to a new level in pitching, and Nathan Schor helped us to create emotional, memorable and descriptive slogans for what we are doing … I still remember most of them!!
