A crash course in kickstarting a startup
You’re following the same path as the startups that grew into the world’s largest companies. Take advice from founders, CEOs and investors at Startup University, and see how they got from where you are to where they are.
No one prepared you for this in school. Welcome to Collision’s crash course on building and growing your startup, with curated content and insights from some of the world’s most famous startup success stories. Your ticket gives you access to all Startup University sessions, as well as roundtables, masterclasses, and invaluable talks on 15-plus other tracks.
No startup has all the answers at the beginning. The biggest success stories will take the stage to share what they’ve learned along the way. We’ll discover which business models and which strategies are taking startups to new geographies and new growth.
The funding landscape has changed dramatically and there’s a new reality for raising money. With inflation and recession on the rise, what are investors looking for in the new market? We will hear from founders, unicorns and investors on the challenges and the opportunities they are facing and what lessons can be learned from the turmoil of recent months. How will Latin America’s startup boom keep its momentum?
What’s the next big thing? Where is the new wave of innovation of technology taking us? Who are the coolest technologies that are going to make a difference in the next five years. We find the startups innovating across biotech, crypto, the sharing economy, agritech, healthtech, robotics, and Web3 and more to bring you the next wave of creative change.
Have you got the right co-founder, have you hired the right team, what about a board for your startup? Who you surround yourself with as a founder are some of the most important decisions you can make. Early hiring, recruiting for hypergrowth and leaning on your co-founder are all hugely important parts of the startup journey. Learn from founders who have succeeded – and failed – in getting the right people for their company.
