The Early Stage fellowship track is for new entrepreneurs working to validate and launch an EdTech business idea within Europe.

The Early Stage fellowship track is designed for aspiring female entrepreneurs ready to transform their EdTech ideas into viable startups. This 4-week online programme offers mentorship, practical learning, and a supportive community to help you navigate the initial phases of your entrepreneurial journey.
