Some shortcuts may be good but there is no substitute for experience. However, an experience can be shared, so you can learn from mistakes you did not have to make. Save precious time and money, enabling you to grow faster than others. It's not for free though: You will have to listen and learn.
Big data? Health care? AI? There are certain areas that require in depth expertise. Within the program, you will get 2 full weeks with the best brains in their fields.
Prototyping, Beta-testing, MVP. We will teach you how to build something that people REALLY want. No compromises.
Your product may be fabulous but as long as you can't sell it - no one really cares! You need people to invest in you, work for you and buy your great thing. We will teach you how to master your pitch and win everyone over, whether you are shy, modest or slightly crazy.
By now, you have a great product, first users and you have started to make some money. It’s the right time to show it to the world. You will get to present to specially invited audience - accredited investors, potential clients, corporate strategist let alone the press. All of which will challenge you and help you to take it to the next level.
It might be the end of the program but believe us - for you, it is just the beginning:-)
You will learn the principles of startup entrepreneurship that work, just as well as those that do not.

We will boost your media coverage, so you attract clients and better talent to build a strong team.
You will become part of our worldwide network of entrepreneurs, startups, industry experts, research facilities and corporate partners. This will provide privileged access to clients and partners and will accelerate your sales internationally.
