... through the IBE program, you will gain a great set of entrepreneurial skills, highly beneficial personal insights and a valuable network.
I gladly recommend anyone who is either an entrepreneur or who wants to develop their entrepreneurial skills to connect with Curtis! Foremost, you will meet a friend. On top of that, through the ibe program, you will gain a great set of entrepreneurial skills, highly beneficial personal insights and a valuable network.
Let me back that statement up!
Through Rob Mayfield (director of LEH, the institutional investor of the Dutch University of Leiden), we were lucky enough to land on the radar of the organizers of the ibe program with our start-up Amplio Pharma BV. I think that the ibe program is unique for having a leadership team that themselves are seasoned entrepreneurs. All ibe lectureres hailed either from a network of entrepreneurs (who are facing the same type of challenges) OR the investor community (ranging from angel networks and family office to VCs).
The result: valuable insights AND connections!
But Curtis truly put the "icing" on the ibe program with his sharing of the EurekaConnect technology. He provided all the course participants with insights in the effects of our behavioural tendencies, both during one-on-one conversations and with group exercises. In every single meeting, Curtis is engaged, patient and generous. All his pointers come supported with literature suggestions (important, if you are in front of a group of scientists-turned-entrepreneurial) on how one can become a better version of yourself and thus be more successfull as entrepreneurs.
Thank you, Curtis, for sharing yourself, your insights and your connections so gracefully!
