Westerwelle Young Founders Programme
Offered by Westerwelle Foundation
The Westerwelle Foundation's Young Founders Programme brings no direct funding. It brings something else, often rarer: structured access to an international network of founders and investors.
Selected entrepreneurs join a twice-yearly cohort, receive individual mentoring and take part in a stay in Berlin for the Young Founders Conference, meeting peers from around thirty countries and European investors.
This is the programme to target when the blocker is not money but isolation: a business that works in its own market but does not know how to approach an international investor, or how it compares with what is done elsewhere.
