Feedback from previous participants
“It’s a true honour to join a community of purpose-driven entrepreneurs who fiercely explore what Being Human means in the context of current social, political and environmental challenges. This is a bridge between the heart of a human being, the rules of the labour market and the pressing needs of our societies.”
– Rodrigo Martinez VU alumnus
“I went from 0 to 100 in 4 days. When I started on Monday morning, I did not know what to expect, neither did I have a solid idea of what I wanted to do with my company. Now that it’s Friday afternoon and I just delivered my final pitch, I feel like I’m ready to face the world of business!”
– Sydney Schelvis UvA alumnus
