„In April of 2018 the SAFARI Team organized for us the workshop “Vom MVP zum IPO” […]. Alltogether the workshop was very practice-oriented and built around our needs. Thanks to the expertise of the SAFARI team and their good connections into startup ecosystems our workshop offered great and exciting discussion amongst the participants.”
