We could go on for hours about why MAP is the best accelerator program, but we think our alumni say it best.   Sara and Michael, the Co-Founders of Flowing Bee, joined our 2024 MAP Accelerator cohort with a clear goal: to accelerate the growth of their company. The beauty of being part of MAP is the support and connections we provide to help founders like them navigate this journey.   Here’s what they had to say about their experience: "MAP has been truly transformational for us. The ongoing guidance and support from the MAP team, the founder community, and access to a global network of experts have been pivotal in helping us overcome the challenges of being an early-stage company. We’ve built invaluable connections and accelerated our growth in ways we couldn’t have achieved on our own." A huge thank you to Sara and Michael for your kind words!   If you're ready to take your startup to the next level, express your interest for the 2025 Accelerator cohort today: https://bit.ly/3YIVGtN   And make sure to follow Flowing Bee – they’ve got some exciting announcements coming your way soon! -- #MAP #accelerator #startups

Another day at Web Summit, and there’s been a lot of discussion around scaling early-stage startups. One question I keep hearing: when is the right time to fundraise versus doubling down on building an MVP? For us at Capture (https://usecapture.io/), the MVP phase was crucial for proving product value and gathering user insights, but I see many founders wondering if fundraising should come earlier. The balance between refining the product and securing growth capital is tricky. How did you approach this decision? By the way - if you are attending the Poland Mixer tonight, come say hi! #WebSummit #MVP #Startups #AI #Growth
