Our program values
Acceleration, for real!
We believe acting fast is key for a startup.
You'll have only a few months to speed up your project with our ongoing support!
Startup push, not pull!
We believe a push approach is a winning strategy.
You'll set your own goals,
we'll help you achieve them!
Community Centered
We believe our network makes a difference.
You will get in touch with experienced founders and professionals that are part of the Esade community.
Learn-by-doing
We believe you have to get
your hands dirty.
That's why you'll learn it the hard way, in a practical way by working on your project.
Customized journey
We believe that
“one size does not fit all”.
Each startup is different and founders have to be conscious of their paths and learn to focus on what they want to achieve.
Ongoing support
We believe support is important.
That’s why we’ll be by your side throughout the entire program.
