Very minimal work will be required outside of the weekly sessions. You'll complete most of your work together as a team during our online calls.
Pitch Day on June 13th is an in-person event in Berlin, Germany, so you'll need to block off the entire day. It's a chance to showcase your project, practice your pitch, and celebrate your hard work. Parents and families are welcome to join and cheer you on! If you are unable to be in Berlin on June 13th, there will be an option to participate online.
No prior experience or concept is needed! We'll walk you through the entire entrepreneurial process, starting with the very basics, and support you as you develop a concept with your team.
This is all about learning and gaining experience - there's no winner or prize.
We're so glad you're interested in making an impact for future leaders! We're looking for passionate individuals to join us as:
- mentors for our online sessions
- panelists at our pitch event
