We asked five mentors who have a deeper knowledge of the growth program and the startups that go through it, what are the main values \u200b\u200bof the incubator. Remember these names and faces well, because one of them may become your startup\u2019s mentor in the future, and maybe even an investor!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Startup Incubator will help you bring your idea to life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Liina Laas<\/strong>, expansion manager of the Baltic region at Deel and founding partner of The Better Fund, encourages those at the beginning of the start-up journey: \u201cIf you have an idea that you want to implement, but don\u2019t know where to start, join the growth program of the incubator. The incubator helps your idea come to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get to know a golden contact network through the incubator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aleksander Gansen<\/strong>, co-founder of WOF Labs and Supplain: \u201cI also went through the incubator growth program with my company, and I don\u2019t think we would be as far as we are today without the help of the incubator mentors and contact network. Many have no idea what kind of support they can get from this community. In the incubator, there are professionals who have already experienced a lot in the business world and they can help your company move to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The incubator gives you a road map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ragmar Saksing<\/strong>, head of the field of green technology in Tehnopol, founder of KOOHOO and Seiklusklinik: \u201cYou should join the Startup Incubator because the incubator has long-term experience and companies that have completed the program are often successful. In many ways, thanks to this same long experience, the Incubator gives you and your company a concrete roadmap to move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The incubator\u2019s mentors offer you full support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pirko Konsa<\/strong>, co-founder of Modern Mobility: \u201cIf a start-up company wants to grow its business, it should definitely join an incubator. Incubator mentors help sprouts to believe in their ideas even in the most difficult moments. The incubator helps you create a very good network of contacts.\u201d The great value of mentors is also highlighted by the program\u2019s start-up companies themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The incubator brings you together with potential investors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lev Dolgatsjov<\/strong>, EstBAN president and angel investor: \u201cStart-ups learn a lot in the incubator and meet many investors \u2013 most of the key mentors of the incubator are also investors themselves. In the incubator, start-ups form a kind of community, they can support each other and learn from each other\u2019s mistakes. Mentors give feedback to the sprouts \u2013 if they deviate from the path, the mentor quickly draws attention to it.
