Startup Scout

About Us

Startupbootcamp is one of the world’s largest and most active startup accelerators, operating in 20+ cities since 2010. We’ve helped thousands of founders grow faster through mentorship, investment, and unmatched access to global networks of investors, corporates, and partners.

Now, for the first time, we’re bringing Startupbootcamp to Georgia. Launching in Tbilisi, our program will accelerate the country’s most ambitious founders and connect them to global opportunities. 

We’re hands-on, deliverables-based, and all about building startups that move fast and scale smart.

Our team culture? Ambitious, collaborative, and fun. We work hard, play hard, and thrive in a hybrid environment where results matter more than hours behind a desk. This means you will also have to be flexible with your timings as some events may take place in the evenings or on weekends. If you want to be part of an international network but help shape a brand-new local program from day one, this is your chance.

Your mission is to discover the next wave of startups that will change the world and bring them into our accelerator. This role blends research, outreach, and community-building.
