Pluspunten
• Fantastic team trying to help you build the next generation of science companies • Incredible network to draw upon to get you connected to whomever you need to support your business or idea • Detailed knowledge of start-ups, and how to kick-start them, and get funding at the pre-seed stage. • A completely different (and brilliant) way of thinking about science businesses. • They come at problems and company creation from a contrasting angle – which allows for fresh creativity. • No bullsh*t environment – excellent and incredibly valuable feedback on what you're creating, but it comes directly and truthfully (which can sometimes hurt the ego!) • No-where better in the world right now to start a science company from less than an idea. • Without DSV, I would have never started a science company that I believe can make a true global impact and I will always be grateful for the opportunity to work there.
Minpunten
• Somewhat intense at the beginning as a huge amount to learn very very quickly • Self-motivation and personal drive very important as there is a lot you have to work on yourself. • The no bullsh*t environment. If you need feedback in a delicate way – maybe it's not for you! • The completely different way of thinking can be hard to adjust to at the beginning as you get into a new mindsets and question everything (including yourself). But allows for fantastic personal and career growth in the long term. • Need a particular type of background (often science heavy alongside desire to create a company) for it to be the right fit for many people.
