Our track record speaks for itself:

Over 1,800 startups coached, €1B+ in funding closed, 500+ jobs created across 10+ European locations. With 200+ mentors who've built what you're building, we provide guidance grounded in real experience.

Tailored support for your entrepreneurial stage

Visionary (Idea Stage): Transform your vision into validated opportunity with proven frameworks, team-building support, and the credibility to move from concept to reality.

Builder (MVP Stage): Find your repeatable growth engine with data-driven validation methods. We help you distinguish meaningful metrics from vanity numbers and help you gain traction on the market.

Growth Leader (Scale-up): Build the international company you envisioned. Our network provides strategic introductions and expansion expertise that opens new markets.

Beyond mentorship: Your entrepreneurial home

Free coworking space for your first year in the heart of Budapest. Strategic investor introductions. Partnership facilitation with our corporate network. Most importantly—a founder community built on mutual support and lasting relationships.

Our commitment is straightforward:

No equity required. No hidden agendas. No institutional constraints on your vision. Just bring your dedication to growth, your international ambition, and your passion for building something meaningful.

We believe motivated founders thrive with support, not ownership dilution.
