Knowledge on the go

From the moment you apply, onwards, you will be considered an entrepreneur! As an entrepreneur, you will learn by doing, there is no better way than "getting your hands dirty". From the start in Jump, we will ask you to work and build your idea!

Mentoring

By learning while doing, you will make a lot of mistakes. Some of these are really important to make, others can be avoided and that's where mentors come in. Further on, we will connect you with a mentor in your specific industry so that he can give you advice on where and how to go where you want to.

A Path

To get somewhere, you always need to follow a path. We, along with your mentor, will help you develop a plan of action with objectives and dates. This will help you envision your path to your objective.

Accountability

Nothing better than sharing your developments with someone and we are that someone. We will help you with whatever we can and most of all help you keep up with the objectives!

Onesies

Network

One of the best things about being associated with a University is the network around it. Alumni from Nova SBE are in every industry possible and are always ready to help. We can get you in contact with them if you need it.

Exposure

At the end of Jump, or even during it if you want to, you will get the chance to show the world what you're made of! We will organize a final event to pitch your Startup where people from the Startup Ecosystem can get to know you and your idea.

Applications are now open until Feb 6!
