The EWOR Fellowship

We believe that entrepreneurs shape the future – yet only a few create generational impact. This is why we back only the top founders globally, with significant funding, intense support and an ecosystem that rivals the value of an additional co-founder.
Our approach is virtual-first and modular to suit each founder's non-linear journey, no matter where they are in the world. No standardised playbooks or rigid programming.
Apply for the Fellowship
Standard playbooks don't build category leaders.
‍Outliers know this already.
We built this fellowship for founders who never followed blueprints. The ones who know that "proven frameworks" and "best practices" are usually just elaborate ways to build companies from the past.

Your path won't look like anyone else's. It never does for founders building what others can’t imagine. This is why we created a support system that helps founders build paradigm-shifting companies without generic milestones, fixed timelines, or a standard curriculum.

Your path doesn’t follow fixed routes? Neither do we.

The EWOR Fellowship provides what you actually need…

Flexible modules when you need them
1:1 sparring with unicorn builders and experts who have solved your exact problem before
Peers who make you question if you're thinking big enough
You are defined by your peers
For once, you might not be the smartest person in the room.
The most valuable asset on your startup journey isn't capital; it's the caliber of the people you build alongside. We curate a community of the sharpest minds and most driven builders on the planet.

Brilliant minds like these will challenge your assumptions, celebrate your breakthroughs, and understand the obsession that drives you.
Expect to meet your ultimate peer group.
Our partners have led companies to billion-dollar successes.
They are full-time with EWOR and ready to work with you.
Our partners have built companies worth over €12 billion (SumUp, ProGlove, Felyx). They are not part-time advisors who theorise. They are here, full-time, in the trenches with you. They've navigated the fundraising nightmares, the scaling pains, and the brutal decisions you will face. You get hours of their time for 1:1 sparring, not a 30-minute monthly check-in.

Our ecosystem bends to you.
Not the other way around.

We curate the EWOR ecosystem to be most helpful for you, no matter where you are on your journey or geographically. Next to the individual support from our partners, your co-hustlers, this also contains a handpicked network of 10,000+ experts and advisors we match precisely to your field and challenges. The EWOR Platform has been developed to getting you to escape velocity when it comes to learning as a founder. This contributes to reaching your milestones faster and rising more funding from the right investors.

Capital Injection

Significant capital from day one. We provide up to €500,000 to give you the runway to think big and execute without distraction, while preparing you for the next financing round.

On-demand support

Access a curated network of experts, operators, and VCs who can solve niche problems in a single phone call.

Bespoke Support

From deep tech validation to GTM strategy, we tailor our network and resources to meet your exact need, right now. One dedicated partner will  always be by your side.

Global Access

A borderless fellowship for global ambitions. We connect you to talent, customers, and investors in every market you need to win.

The EWOR Platform and further community perks
In addition to the direct sparring from our partners, the EWOR Platform offers flexible resources for you to pull when you need them, not a standardised program you're pushed through. Hundreds of hours of video wisdom from founders and experts, blueprints that have helped building unicorns and community tools to connect with experts and peers – like a vectorised talent database to find those exact 3 people that have written more than 1 million lines in Rust.
