‘’After just 2 months in the programme, the life has changed
radically. The pace has picked up considerably. It really feels
as if an entire year has elapsed during those 2 months. I can't
believe that June 1 was even this year, and now it's August 1.
There was an amazing amount of information to absorb. I am
very glad that I now have the knowledge that Startup Academy
gave me. It's scary to think what I would have endured or
where my project would have ended up without Startup
Academy. Startup Academy in a word is fun, tons of contacts,
innovation, drive.’’
Vladimir Kovalskiy
Startup Academy is a very good theory and practice hybrid of
building a business. Businesses that operate in current markets.
An extensive network of SKOLKOVO mentors can link together
the best practices of building a startup with real projects of each
student. Regardless of the projects’ stage - each member of the
Academy gets a powerful boost and a clear road map for further
development. If you are consider joining the programme, then
my advice to you - Just jump into it! You will not regret it!
