Springboard program in UK was success for Publification.com
Our team took part of 3 month long mentorship-led accelerator program for start-ups called Springboard. Program took place in Cambridge, UK.
During the first month team met with about 100 mentors with various backgrounds, including experienced entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.
Publification team established personal contacts with three major book publishers in UK, who where interested in Publification publishing platform and our industry specific services.
Many thanks to organizers of this program (specially Jon and Jess), mentors and other teams who made this 3 month in Cambridge really valuable and memorable!
