Being on this evaluation panel is a role I take very seriously. It demands not just a critical eye but also empathy, intuition, and a deep commitment to seeing others succeed. I draw on my experience in leadership coaching, strategic advisory, and community engagement to ensure that we select teams who are not just dreamers but doers—ready to create lasting, positive impact. Startupbootcamp is the #1 startup accelator in Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle-East, Australia and Latin America. My heartfelt thanks to Giovanni Vaccari, Managing Director Netherlands and Sabina Basariyeva, Global Head of Relations and Startup Growth- for their exceptional leadership, involvement, and purpose-driven approach. Over the course of three days, from 27th to 29th August 2024, 60 startups pitched their ideas, and on 30th August 2024, 30 startups were selected. Here’s why this selection process is demanding: Vision Alignment: Just as a CXO must align with the company’s vision, it’s crucial to find founders whose mission resonates deeply with the accelerator’s goals. This alignment isn’t just strategic—it’s emotional. Strategic Insight: The founders must demonstrate a clear and compelling Customer Value Proposition and a robust Business Model. Problem Significance: It’s about understanding the relevance and impact of the solution—ensuring they are tackling issues that truly matter. Purpose-Driven Leadership: Leadership goes beyond managing teams; it’s about inspiring others through resilience and purpose. Environmental & Social Impact: Carefully assessing the potential environmental and social effects of the startups, ensuring that their growth is aligned with positive, sustainable change. Throughout this evaluation and selection process, I’ve reflected on some invaluable lessons: The world needs more #visionaries, and I’m inspired by how #Startupbootcamp offers a springboard for them to succeed. We must create secure professional and personal #environments where people can thrive. #Storytelling and #Collaboration are two superpowers we should all work to enhance. Being open to receiving and giving #feedback is essential for growth. Always strive to #give more than you ask for—this is the foundation of true leadership and impact. In the end, it’s about more than just choosing the right ideas. It’s about identifying and nurturing the right people—the ones who have the vision, heart, and tenacity to turn those ideas into something transformative. Congratulations to all the participating startups Best Wishes, . . Sagar Chandni | #leadership #wellbeing #vision #authenicity

⏯ This video shows what #Berlin's #StartupScene looked like in #2012 📹 For those uninterested in retrospectives, feel free to skip the video. Otherwise, enjoy this throwback to the 2012 startup scene. Back then, #TOA's first conference took place in a small yet idealistic Berlin startup community, aiming to use technology to 'save the world.' Convincing friends and parents about the startup path was common. The ecosystem has since grown; many early TOA startups are now corporates. #Technology has advanced rapidly and continues to accelerate. Although the future is uncertain, we at TOA believe the next decade will profoundly impact humanity following the last decade's digitalization of the economy. Join TOA this year!
