Dafna 6, which is managed by KLAK – Icelandic Startups, starts on February 22nd for beneficiaries who were allocated Växt or Sprota from the Technology Development Fund on December 13th. There is a record participation in the workshops, but 38 companies will attend workshops in Dafna with experts from the business world and mentors from KLAK VMS.
Between workshops, grantees are expected to work on practical projects to help them progress. Beneficiaries meet with their mentors between workshops, typically meeting with their advisory group four times during the Dafna period.
The mentoring arrangement is built in collaboration with the MIT Venture Mentoring Service and is based on the fact that each grantee receives two to four mentors with whom they meet regularly during the Dafna period. The beneficiary meets all his mentors at the same time and thus the beneficiary gets his own group of advisors. Dafna's goal is to increase the success of the companies that receive funding from the Technology Development Fund.
