The Start-up in Residence Program is bringing start-up teams from all over the world to Albania to work from here for a few weeks. They will be joining local start-ups working from one of the local Coworking Spaces.
While working on their own products our Start-ups in Residence will be supporting the local start-up ecosystem by sharing their experience during office hours, One on One mentoring sessions, workshops and other activities.
We are constantly looking for start-up teams to join us here in Tirana for a few weeks, so if you are a team of up to three founders looking to spend some time in an up and coming ecosystem, please feel free to contact us. We are especially looking for founding teams who already have experience with building up, running and successfully scaling up a start-up.
