Investing per founder- one of the highest fellowship offers globally.Our partners—founders of unicorns like SumUp, Adjust, and ProGlove (€12B+ combined value)—are committed full-time.With a virtual-first, highly personalized model, EWOR rejects the one-size-fits-all approach, tailoring support to match the nonlinear founder journey.Fellows consistently go on to raise €1M–€11M within months and build companies with global impact.
