Last week, our participants had the opportunity to join a Founder Talk with Sergiu Matei, Founder at Index. 🚀

He shared valuable insights from his own entrepreneurial journey, opening up about the real challenges behind building a startup and the lessons learned along the way.

The session wrapped up with a dynamic Q&A, giving our future founders the chance to ask questions, exchange ideas, and learn directly from Sergiu’s experience.

💜 We’re deeply grateful to Sergiu Matei and Index for always supporting and inspiring the new generation of founders.

With all this inspiration fresh in mind, the teams are getting ready for Demo Day, taking place next week.

Aroundly is a tool designed to keep communities informed, safe, and connected. 📍

But as every founder knows, building a product is rarely a straight line. When technical hurdles and tough questions about core value came up, the choice was made to pause its launch.

Guided by the UpNext program mentors, they stepped back to focus on customer interviews, gather feedback, and refine their vision. This pivot resulted in a fundamentally stronger product.

The startup journey is all about navigating these exact turning points, and having the right support makes all the difference.

This weekend, make sure your plans include securing your spot in the only traction accelerator in Moldova. 🚀

Toolbar entered UpNext with total confidence, convinced they already had the right version of their product.

But true growth happens when your assumptions are challenged by the right environment. 💡

Through the intense mentorship, actionable feedback, and deep-dive sessions during the program, the team uncovered gaps they hadn't seen before.

Guided by top-tier expertise, they realized that to truly scale, they needed to fundamentally change how their product worked from the ground up. 🔄

Instead of staying in their comfort zone, they leveraged the accelerator’s resources and rebuilt their product into a much more powerful, market-ready solution.

Now, we are looking for the next batch of tech startups ready to get the expertise they need to evolve. 📈
