Design, test and validate new business ideas
Bring your new business ideas into this personal accelerator to design, test and validate your ideas. We coach you in developing your idea into concepts. At the end of the accelerator, you can decide which idea and business model to take forward. This is a smart way to limit risks.
We designed a journey to immediately experience and practice what you have learned in your own project. Your guides are a team of experienced innovators from startups, corporates and academia. The program is inspired by the most successful global startup programs to grow the critical skills and mindset.

Your purpose
Wouldn’t it be great to make a real impact? To help people solving problems and at the same time live your life, and earn good money? People dream of making their ideas happen, however, few have the guts to take the lead and shape their own lives. People fear to jump in the unknown, but it does not have to be that way. You never learned to be an entrepreneur in school, but there is a lot of knowledge and experiences that can help you in your journey.
Who should attend?
Everyone with the will to try to jump. The ones that have that ambition and passion to become an entrepreneur but just need a bit of support to start.
This track is designed for those we dream of being independent and are passionate about an idea.
Dirt on the hands
Our trainers open up their otherwise locked expertise as an entrepreneur and advisor to large organizations and startups.
Maximum 20 participants
We limit the number of participants so you can connect and get support directly from the expert

Tired of putting time, effort, and money into training that’s forgotten soon after it’s delivered? Before the workshop you can prepare yourself and afterwards you have all resources in one place.
WHERE TO START?
This a frequently asked question. You are among the many that dream of becoming independent and do it better. Unchain from your job, and unlock your potential. Although, many people struggle, make the same mistakes and just lack the skills for a speedy start. And that is where we come in. You do not need a business plan. You not a business. We first develop your idea, test it, run experiments and then launch within just a couple of weeks.

Startup Spirit
I worked at several large organizations, as this was seen as the place to be. After a burn-out, I started my own business which was a journey of unlearning the old and learning the new. At some point I was asked by corporates to help them to innovate, I also coached people wanting to start on their own. Created several startup programs and enjoyed coaching several startup teams. Now, I want to help you in starting your own business.
We work with big and small, like Philips, Bayer, SXSW, startups, and everything in between.
