The Ideation Fellowship.
Designed to help you launch a successful company with global impact.

For those who don’t have traction for their business idea yet, the EWOR Ideation Fellowship turns an aspiring entrepreneur into a successful tech entrepreneur.

As founders of some of the most successful companies in Europe, our partners have all learned first-hand what it takes to succeed in the business world. Throughout the fellowship, you will be coached by one of them to help you identify a promising business idea and turn it into a scalable tech venture. You will also have access to  in-house-developed modules, hundreds of resources and templates, exclusive discounts, credits with software and service providers, and connections with our co-founder network and mentoring platform. By joining our Ideation Fellowship, you'll become part of a dynamic community of outlier founders and receive invites to lots of EWOR-hosted events.

Ideally yes, but not necessarily. The EWOR Ideation Fellowship is designed for those who don’t have traction for their business idea yet. The EWOR Ideation Fellowship is entirely remote and turns aspiring entrepreneurs into business owners.

For those who don’t have traction for their business idea yet, the EWOR Ideation Fellowship turns aspiring entrepreneurs into business owners. For those who do already have traction, the EWOR Traction Fellowship is designed to help them scale their venture.

The EWOR Fellowships are your launchpad to unicorn status.

Throughout the fellowship, you will be coached by one of the EWOR Partners and gain access to our mentoring pool, which consists of seasoned unicorn founders and industry titans who've been in your shoes and scaled to billion-dollar valuations.

The in-house-developed modules help you dive deep into cutting-edge strategies for rapid scaling, securing VC funding, and building world-class teams. Our global network opens doors to potential co-founders, early adopters, and investors crucial for your startup's hypergrowth.

EWOR doesn't just teach entrepreneurship – it immerses you in it. You'll emerge with a battle-tested business model, a robust network, and the unshakeable confidence to take on incumbents and create the next billion-dollar company. If you're ready to think big, move fast, and leave a lasting impact on the world, the EWOR Fellowship is your first step towards unicorn success.
