MTS Startup Hub
Startups work in mysterious ways.
For the past six weeks, the project Arturs Zantmans and I have been working on has been part of the MTS Startup Hub accelerator’s TravelTech track. Arturs is pictured in the photo. Under the guidance of our business sponsor at MTS, Sergey Derevtsov, we travelled a rocky road, testing several different business ideas and strategies along the way.
In the end, our project became a finalist and earned a place on stage at MTS Startup Day. To give you a sense of what that achievement represents:
- Applications submitted at the start: 159.
- Projects selected in the first round: 40.
- Projects admitted to the programme: 6.
- Projects presented by MTS Startup Hub at MTS Startup Day: 2.
I am sure Arturs Zantmans will soon share more details about the event.
We are proud of what we have achieved in such a short time, and we are confident that enormous opportunities lie ahead. That confidence is not unfounded. At the recent TravelHub conference, MTS.Travel CEO Vadim Melnikov, also pictured, spoke positively about the prospects for the market segment our project is targeting.
