About Nicole and Why Her Advice is so valuable
Apart from being all-round awesome, Nicole is a very bright, demanding Investor, who really tells it as she sees it. I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole a few years ago and loved interviewing for our webinar that became this Masterclass. Her style is frank, to the point and so practical, that you’ll find yourself taking lots of notes, so have your notepad ready! Nicole is the person who actually developed the original Accelerator model worldwide, and she has seen many thousands of early stage and growth stage startups pitch, so you can be sure, that you will get an expert eye and advice from her. As she says, there’s nothing she hasn’t seen before, so you’d better do your homework and prepare before reaching out to her! What you’ll find, when you talk to her, is someone who deeply cares about supporting startups and the startup ecosystem. With Nicole, and Techstars, you’re in great hands!
