START Fellowship

START Fellowship is a philanthropic incubator and accelerator empowering young founders from low- and middle-income countries to put their ideas into reality through an interdisciplinary program. We strive for a world of equal opportunities for entrepreneurs. Together with our network and community, we bring a value-add to entrepreneurial ecosystems by strengthening relations globally as a bridge-maker. Our goal is to support a diverse range of young entrepreneurs to have a positive impact on their communities and to lay the groundwork for a more equitable future for all of the world.

Incubator

Your entrepreneurial journey begins with the START Fellowship Incubator, that takes you from your first idea to your MVP. During the eight-week online incubator, you’ll participate in a series of workshops, founder stories and community activities designed to get you started.

Accelerator

The START Fellowship Accelerator prepares you and your Startup for a first round of investment. Over a four-month period in Switzerland, the accelerator connects you with the European Startup ecosystem and provides you with professional mentorship, coaching, funding opportunities and workshops to grow your Startup.
 
At the end, you’ll have a new network of like-minded entrepreneurs forming a tight-knit community, and potential investments to help get your Startup off the ground.
