Enrolment starts 6/15/2023

The program continues until 12/20/2023

The 6-week program will culminate in a certification day, where the participants get to deliver their polished project to impress our advisors. We will invite fellow VCs, angel investors, bankers, and corporate representatives to attend the day.

The schedule will be announced to the participants in more detail later.

Selection of candidates for each cohort is based on certain criteria, including commitment to complete the program, interest in obtaining the certificate, and having a relevant background. If you meet these requirements and receive an invitation, you can choose either the Verified Certificate or the auditing option based on your preferences and needs.

1- Verified Certification: You will have unlimited access to the full course materials, activities, tests, and forums. Additionally, upon completing the program with a passing grade, you will receive a Verified Certificate as a formal recognition of your achievement. Receiving certification costs €299. 

2- Auditing the Course: If you opt for auditing the course, you can do so for free. Auditing provides access to select course materials, activities, tests, and forums. However, it's important to note that this track does not offer a certificate even if you earn a passing grade. Essentially, auditing allows you to explore and engage with the course content without formal certification.
