The Startupbootcamp accelerator heads on a world tour with Open Pitch Days

Startupbootcamp is one of Europe’s biggest accelerator programs, with presences in Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Berlin, plus Haifa in Israel and a health-focused operation in Dublin and London. Now it’s set to spread its message around the world with a series of Open Pitch Days in the coming months.

The idea here is to find startups to recruit to Startupbootcamp programs, but the organizers say that they want to make sure that all of the companies that pitch get value from the events. At each location, “top-notch” mentors are promised to give feedback to each pitch.

Members of The Next Web team will be mentors at some of the events on the tour, which is supported by Amazon Web Services.
