Rallycast: Connection Capital: How Fellowships & Accelerators Can Change Your Startup's Trajectory with Tania Kottoor
We’ve all heard the old adage, “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.” Some of the best entrepreneurs I know intentionally elevate their networks. One way to do this is by joining fellowships and accelerator programs. Tania Kottoor is a master of this. In this conversation, we dive into a few of the programs that have been vital to her success in launching West x East and how to take advantage of pitch competitions beyond just the funding. Tania Kottoor, is the Founder and CEO of WEST x EAST, an AI-powered design platform for custom-fit cultural clothing. Tania has been part of over 20 Fellowships, accelerators, and boot camps. She is a Tory Burch Entrepreneur, Luminary Fellow, Vital Voices Grow Fellow, and Ladies Who Launch Fellow, to name a few. West x East has been gaining tons of momentum since it’s conception in 2023 and pitching at the IN-Prize competition at Rally is just one of the latest achievements. This conversation took place at Rally, the Largest Global Cross-Sector Innovation Conference. Rally forges and celebrates cross-sector connections between companies, entrepreneurs, investors and universities from across the globe and features a $5M cash IN-Prize pitch competition, 1:1 investor meetups, a demo arena, content sessions and more.
