“The Prototron program provides an extremely quick overview of the startup world. Under the hands of good mentors, you will be immediately put on the right track. I can’t imagine anyone reading business books on top of managing a startup. All the information presented in the program was very well thought out.”

“If you are a starting startup and want to develop your idea, find places and opportunities to attract investments, then Prototron is definitely a good program to be a part of. Ability to find good contacts. The best part of the Prototron program was the interaction with the mentors. For example, we received the necessary legal advice, which was a weak spot for us at the moment.”

“It was great that we were able to choose the mentors ourselves and thus also set the path that you will get from the program in the end. You learned a lot about your own product, how to pay attention to the necessary details, and describing your idea to others became easier and easier each time.”

“The biggest lesson was getting everything done – the program itself was very good. The most useful topic for us turned out to be the involvement of funding.”

“The Prototron program is the most valuable for starting startups, but the startup has been operating for some time, then not all topics are no longer relevant. The mentoring part was very good and thorough, and new contacts were made.”

“Prototron helped to contact the mentors and get very good feedback. If you have an idea, to build something, to prototype, that idea becomes clearer in Prototron. It’s like a milestone that will benefit.”

“Prototon’s mentors were of a very good standard. I’ve come across all of the topics in Prototron before, but now they’ve come together as one. Prototron isn’t about getting that prize money, it’s like a master’s degree that you don’t have to pay for. This is a free very high level school. If you complete this program, you will be a ready startup entrepreneur.”
