# Startupbootcamp

Startupbootcamp is a global network of industry-focused accelerator programs, providing early-stage startups with an intensive 3-month program designed to scale their businesses. Founded in 2010 by Alex Farcet, Carsten Kolbek, and Patrick de Zeeuw, Startupbootcamp emerged from a desire to create a more impactful and hands-on accelerator experience than what was broadly available at the time. Their mission is to support and scale the next generation of innovative companies by connecting them with a global network of mentors, investors, and corporate partners. Startupbootcamp's investment thesis centers on identifying promising startups with strong teams and disruptive technologies across specific industry verticals, offering a small seed investment in exchange for equity, typically around 6-8%. They are known for running highly specialized programs such as FinTech, Smart Transportation & Energy, FoodTech, and IoT & Data, each tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities within those sectors. Geographically, Startupbootcamp has a significant global footprint, with programs running in major innovation hubs across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Notable portfolio companies include Relayr, a leading IoT platform acquired by HSB, and what3words, a unique global addressing system. What makes Startupbootcamp stand out is its deep industry focus, extensive global network of corporate partners who actively engage with startups, and a strong emphasis on mentorship and hands-on support, helping founders navigate the complexities of scaling their businesses in specific markets.
