FAQ

Do I need a business idea to apply?

No, EWOR supports you in formulating an idea during the program.
How much does the program cost?

The fellowship is free for accepted applicants. Fellows are expected to provide their own accommodation, food, and travel expenses for the duration of the program.
Do you take equity in my company?

EWOR takes 3% equity in the business you build as part of the EWOR program. You retain the majority stake.
Where is the program located?

EWOR fellows are typically required to relocate nearby the partnership company of the current cohort. Due to Covid restrictions, Fellow’s can currently participate in the program remotely.
Do I need to have a degree?

It’s not necessary to have a degree to join EWOR. Our fellows come from diverse backgrounds.
What is the time commitment?

There is no formal requirement on how much time you will have to study but Fellows typically dedicate 20-40 hours per week. During the fellowship, you will experience different phases. In the beginning you will study more and execute less. Later on, you will focus most of your time on building your venture and less time on studying. At the end of the program, we would like to see you run a successful business with full-time employees and potentially loads of funding. Anything below 20 hours per week won’t get you there. Lastly, there are weekly calls with both us and the partner company, followed by ~monthly feedback sessions.
Where will I incorporate my company?

You will have to build your company in the location of where your partner company is located at. Exceptions are possible in specific cases.
How do I engage with my partner company?

Your partner company is your sponsor. They do not manage you nor are they allowed to force you into certain behaviour. An ideal relationship with your partner company is based on frequent communication, mutual trust, and alignment of goals. Your partner company might be your first investor, your first customer or your pilot partner. Maintaining a good relationship with your partner company will be critical in you achieving accelerated success. Being on time for calls, arriving prepared at meetings, and communicating quickly and professionally will increase your chances of your partner company supporting your business beyond the program.
What is the difference to Y Combinator, TechStars and other startup accelerator programs?

EWOR is pre-idea and has a great focus on educating you to become a serial entrepreneur. While we invest more money than Techstars and as much money as Y-Combinator into our fellows, we start earlier, help them ideate, and prioritise education, network and coaching.
