Acceleration and Pre-acceleration Demo Days officially concluded B4i - Bocconi for innovation VII Batch.

On July 11th, B4i - Bocconi for innovation hosted the Acceleration Demo Day where B4i founders of the VII Batch presented their startups in SDA Bocconi.

During our VII Acceleration program, I have seen how much founders grew as persons and entrepreneurs, and Demo Days are always an excellent opportunity to present startups' results to all B4i stakeholders. Every Batch teaches me precious lessons and I believe that working in tight contact with bright and talented founders is a privilege said Oleksandr (Sasha) Komarevych, B4i Acceleration program manager.

The Demo Day was the end of an intense 4-month journey and an occasion for B4i community to acknowledge the achievements reached by our accelerated startups: CRQLAR , Guidoio , Hdemie, KOOL - Mystery Box , MICROX , NUBO New Urban Office and SLY.

Every Batch is different and therefore every Demo Days are too. New founders with new companies but similar ambitions and growth potential.
