Almost 60% of startups are sustainable for years after the incubator program ends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are working with very early stage startups, where the risk of failure is actually very high. Therefore, the help of experienced mentors is critical at this stage \u2013 you don\u2019t have to go through all the crises and mistakes yourself, the smarter ones learn from others and succeed faster. Finding the right investor is also very important for most startups \u2013 a good investor not only supports you financially, but is actually an additional advisor and creator of new contacts and opportunities. That is why we also work closely with EstBan and other angel investor networks and venture capital funds in the Startup Incubator, \u201d said K<strong>adri Tammai, the head of the Tehnopol Startup Incubator.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tehnopol Startup Incubator offers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"dot\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>6 practical and exclusive training days from the experts<\/li>\n<li>thousands of euros worth of expert advice from mentors from Estonia and Europe<\/li>\n<li>an equity option (2%) agreement, no monthly fee<\/li>\n<li>a modern open office and meeting rooms in Tehnopol, the largest science and business campus in the Baltics<\/li>\n<li>a united community and wide network of contacts<\/li>\n<li>exciting out-of-program workshops and events<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first batch of the new growth program started last week, when Raido Pikkar, a long-time key mentor of Startup Incubator and CEO of Thorgate, conducted a daily workshop on \u201cbusiness model and team\u201d.
