Panel: Helping Your Startup Succeed
summary
Panel reports concrete tactics: an incubator focused exclusively on semiconductor hardware, an accelerator running two cohorts a year with 10 active companies, and a launched no-code mobile app builder for IoT and a no-code audio tool that abstracts firmware per-chip. Advice is specific: validate with a Kickstarter test or early anchor customer, assemble complementary hires (VP engineering, bizdev), chase grants like Horizon Europe for non-dilutive cash, raise earlier than needed, and expect to pitch 50–100 investors to find aligned, patient capital.
