About this opportunity

EWOR is a deep-tech startup studio and pre-seed investor that backs founders turning science and engineering into companies. It invests up to €500,000 in selected ventures and pairs that capital with mentorship from what it calls unicorn-builders, founders and operators who have built and sold companies before.

Founders work with EWOR either full time or part time, with weekly sparring and mentoring sessions built around the venture. The studio supports people at very different stages, from students and researchers with deep technical skills to experienced entrepreneurs who already have early revenue.

Applications run on a continuous basis rather than a single cohort close, so you can apply while your venture is still taking shape. Check the apply page for the current terms before you submit.
