    Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some questions entrepreneurs to-be tend to ask

    How will SmartUp help me?

    The SmartUp internship program provides comprehensive guidelines and theoretical know-how to realize your vision. If you don’t yet have an idea, SmartUp will match you with a group of founders for support and mentorship. Together, you will develop an idea for a new company that can become profitable in 3 to 5 years and doesn’t require a large initial investment. The program is quite involved and requires your full professional attention.

    What is involved with the SmartUp program?

    The SmartUp program includes lectures and workshops covering all aspects of a company. We dive into product development, efficient lead generation, marketing, identifying your core customers, building effective sales processes, and more. The practical part of the program is a weekly or bi-weekly management meeting with your SmartUp Team. In the meetings, we review the most pressing issues, discuss advancement, choose the next steps, and push forward.

    What are the advantages of in-person meetings?

    Our in-depth meetings are usually 3 to 4 hours long, giving us the opportunity to discuss your ideas in detail, identify current issues, and apply SmartUp’s methods to solve them. It usually takes 3 to 5 years to bring a company from inception to sustained positive cash flow. As your company matures, meetings evolve to cover all aspects of expansion and growth.
