Overview
EWOR is a founder-first investment platform that backs exceptional individuals, not just existing companies. The program is built on the belief that great founders can emerge from any background at any stage, from a raw idea to generating up to €500K in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). EWOR invests in people and their potential, providing capital, mentorship, and a powerful network to help them build transformative ventures.
The program accepts applications on a rolling basis, making it accessible whenever you are ready. Whether you have a fully-formed startup, a concept still taking shape, or no business idea at all, EWOR considers all applications with equal merit. This eliminates traditional barriers like minimum revenue or an established company structure, broadening the talent pool to include innovative minds at every phase of their entrepreneurial journey.
Selected individuals become part of the EWOR ecosystem, gaining access to EWOR Mentors, a community of EWOR Fellows, and a broader talent pool. The support goes beyond funding—it includes continuous guidance, personal and professional development, and networking opportunities designed to turn nascent ideas into impactful companies. EWOR's portfolio spans diverse sectors, reflecting its commitment to nurturing ambition and intellectual curiosity wherever they appear.
