How to Fund Your Program

Multiple Paths to Get Here

We believe talent should never be blocked by finances. That's why we support multiple funding tracks — from EU grants to corporate sponsorship to merit-based scholarships.

EU Funded

Erasmus+ Traineeship

For EU university students

Your university applies for Erasmus+ KA131 funding. You receive EUR 600–750/month from the EU. Our Spanish and German portfolio companies serve as official host organizations. The Erasmus+ grant can cover a significant portion of your program costs.

German Funded

DAAD PROMOS

For German university students

German students can apply through their university's International Office for DAAD PROMOS funding (EUR 300–500/month). Combined with an Erasmus+ grant, this can make the program nearly cost-free.

Employer Paid

Corporate Sponsor

For employed professionals

Your employer sends you as part of their innovation or talent development program. The company covers the program fee. You gain entrepreneurial skills and return with a global network of founders.

Scholarships Available

Self-Funded

For independent applicants

Pay the program fee directly. Full and partial scholarships are available for exceptional candidates. If you're talented, cost should never be a barrier — mention scholarship interest in your application.
