CO-FOUND A DEEP-TECH VENTURE THIS FALL
2022-09-26 08:00 - 2022-09-30 17:00 | High Tech Campus Eindhoven, High Tech Campus 1, Eindhoven, Netherlands
We’re preparing for the start of the next cohort of our deep-tech venture building program in October, and we’re searching now for co-founders (CEOs, CTOs and CBOs) to join teams.
We give co-founders a unique opportunity to build startups from the ground up, starting with advanced technologies from world-renowned institutions and tech companies.
We already have three technologies up for grabs, plus we are searching for collaborators for our first open challenge on energy storage. We are continually scouting and assessing new technologies and will update the co-founder landing page as we bring them online.
What’s in it for co-founders?

The co-founder team starts with 70% of the shares. (If the technology is very mature due to investments by the tech institute, this could be less.)
Pre-seed investment if the startup passes the first phase successfully
Proven nine-month program
When the time is right, we support you in deal-making and investor connections.

Important dates

Interview week after summer holidays: August 22nd
FasTrackathon: October 12th
Program Start: October 31st

Flitsbezorging en de 24-uurseconomie
Is er nog toekomst voor fysieke winkels? Wat zijn de consequenties van de 24-uurseconomie? Hoe ziet de binnenstad er over een aantal jaar eruit?
