Labena Ventures runs an in-person programme in Ljubljana that opens with a three-day bootcamp and continues into a three-month acceleration phase over the summer. Participation is free of both fees and equity; rather than a cheque to every team, the best-ranked startup at Demo Day receives a EUR 15,000 grant and the runner-up EUR 5,000. It takes generalist applicants alongside biotech, healthtech and foodtech.
