Shaping Collider 2.0
In 2017, Lea flew to London to meet the new cohort of start-ups of Collider – a mad (marketing & advertising) tech accelerator. It was the start of an on-going collaboration with Collider, as it grew and started in Amsterdam in 2018.
We’ve been the Customer Discovery counterpart of the program since, delivering training to over 30 start-ups, mentoring Yoke (an amazing influencer marketing platform, check them out) and other start-ups, and investing along the way.
As the program moves forward, we’re shaping the new set-up of Collider 2.0 in 2020, which focuses on a smaller group of later stage start-ups. In this new set-up, Collider put together a senior ‘Crack Team’ that works intensively with the start-ups on strategy, marketing, sales and finance.
Lea and Sophie are part of this 5-member crack-team, bringing customer focus, positioning and customer strategy to the table.
