Startup Journey

Run by Boost Turku.

Startup Journey is an intensive eight-week accelerator in Turku ending with a pitch to investors, run annually by the non-profit Boost Turku. It is free to join, takes no equity and makes no investment; applicants need only a motivation letter at the first stage, as Boost helps with idea-crafting and team-forming before the programme begins. In person and generalist, and teams need not already be based in Turku.
