VC Education for Startups: Co-Creating Startup Excellence

For over four years, we have been a partner of the first postgraduate program in Poland dedicated to VC education for startups—especially those looking to raise VC funding. We feel like the “founding fathers” of this initiative, because together with Jakub Cendrowski, Director of Inqube, and his entire team, we co-created the curriculum and considered which experts we could bring on board. The courses are undeniably packed with representatives of VC funds and top advisory firms from the industry, which makes them unrivaled on the local market.

Why 24Ventures Supports VC Education for Startups

At 24Ventures, we have a dual motivation to be involved in this initiative. First, our mission is to build a modern, efficient economy in the region that creates high-quality jobs. We pursue this primarily through investing in innovative projects, but educational activities are also a crucial part of fulfilling our mission. Second, the participation of our representatives in the Startup Excellence program opens access to a new pool of projects that might not reach us through other channels. Founders graduating from this program gain solid knowledge to start or improve their businesses, allowing them to make fewer mistakes and scale their startups faster—often alongside our network of co-investing business angels. Perfect for a VC fund 🎯.

Bridging the Knowledge Gap for Early-Stage Founders

Building a scalable venture requires more than just a promising technology; it demands a clear understanding of cap table management, governance, and investor alignment. Through this hands-on VC education for startups initiative, we help founders bridge the gap between initial concept and institutional readiness, ensuring they approach funding rounds with confidence and structural rigor.
