Scale 2.0- From Vodnjan to New York
summary
An incubator runs a three‑step program: 12 startups train in Vodnjan, iterate in New York, then pitch at Shift Zadar, produced by InfoBIP and Entrepreneurs for Global Change. Concrete outcomes: three finalists emerge, teams learn to craft a one‑liner, bring technical cofounders to networking, and adopt a US success‑minded pitch approach. Results include hospital introductions for a healthcare startup, investors lined up and active fundraising, deep peer mentorships and even a memorable Goldman Sachs pitch moment.
