Springest Academy teaches you everything about working at a start-up. And, of course, about successfully growing a start-up by focusing on continuous improvement.

Nobody's perfect, and we certainly aren't. That's why our mission is to keep learning ourselves. One of the best ways to learn is to share your knowledge. And to use your own products. They call that “eating your own dog food”.

That's what Springest employees do at Springest Academy, by sharing their knowledge and asking for feedback. For, with and from everyone who has or wants to have a start-up mentality.

"Great stuff, these are all concepts we talk about a lot but that are not that obvious to (new) Springeteers. One thing you could do to make it better is to have a better lit room and a mic to record your voice directly. That way the learning bite will have a higher quality." - 2017-12-13 12:54

Thanks! Indeed, I think these concepts are key, yet they can remain unknown for months or even a year+ sometimes. So yeah, my main aim with the course was to help Springeteers get this background from the start.

"Rik provided a very good intro session. What I liked was the overview he gave us at the beginning so we knew what to expect. The information was clear and understandable, which is nice being a non-techie myself. Maybe next time Rik can ask us our pre-questions before starting so that doesn't take up so much time at the end. Other than that I'm very satisfied with the course :)" - 2017-12-13 12:32
