#067 - How to succeed as a startup: Meet the winners of the 7th EY Startup Academy

How do you overcome difficulties and succeed as a startup
founder? In this episode, we set out to answer these and many
more questions with the three winners of the 7th batch of our EY
accelerator program, the EY Startup Academy. We are excited to
feature Christopher Ripp, CEO of I3D Energy, Kim Mckayed, CEO of
Protostars, and Jakob Tresch, Co-Founder and Product Lead at
niatsu, who were selected by an expert jury in November 2023. Our
discussion focusses on the business models of the startups, the
key takeaways of the three founders and how the EY Startup
Academy equipped them for their future journey.


The EY Startup Academy is a six-week program which provides
selected startups with the opportunity to advance their business
models, participate in a series of workshops and fireside chats
as well to access a partner network of investors, companies and
other relevant actors in the startup ecosystem. The international
program aims to prepare startups to become investor ready and
provide them with support and expertise on their journey from
idea to exit. The 7th batch of the EY Startup Academy
specifically focused on FinTech and Tech startups active in
Web3/Digital Assets, Embedded Finance Solutions and
ESG/Sustainable Finance. 


Hosts: Anna Caroline Lange, Senior Consultant Strategy &
Transactions, and Caroline Peters, Consultant Business
Consulting.
