EWOR is a fellowship for outlier founders building transformative tech. We believe that entrepreneurs shape the future – yet only a few create generational impact. This is why we back the top 0.1% with up to €500,000 in immediate funding, weekly 1:1 mentorship from unicorn founders (Adjust, ProGlove, SumUp) who now work full-time at EWOR. No standardised playbooks or rigid programming. Our virtual-first approach is tailored to each founder’s non-linear journey. Building alongside proven peers, our fellows break records – from raising a €13M pre-seed round as a first-time founder to achieving a $3B valuation within 2 years of joining EWOR. EWOR is for founders, by founders. We’ve founded and exited companies such as SumUp, Adjust, ProGlove, Felyx, United Domains, New Now Group (collectively worth over €12bn). * Up to €500k investment + unicorn builders as your sparring partners. * A borderless ecosystem that acts as your co-founder – with tailored support not a standardised programme. * Got traction up to €2M ARR?
