The Future Founders Program is a free, intensive 4-month course that uses a unique training method to provide key guidance to those taking their first steps into the world of entrepreneurship.
What it means to be a founder will be experienced first-hand by the 60 selected aspiring entrepreneurs who will have to form 15 teams of four, create real startups from scratch and deal with the typical difficulties associated with the early development phase of business ideas. Some examples? Finding the right co-founders, identifying the target audience, testing the product/service tests and preparing an investor pitch.
A continuous commitment is required for the entire duration of the course. Attendance at seminars and workshops in Milan is also required.
Applications are currently closed and selected candidates will be notified in the first week of March.
