Deadline: 17 December 2023
Submissions are now open for the RESPOND, a six-month accelerator program focused on responsible leadership and the regenerative economy.
The program is online first, allowing entrepreneurs from across the globe to participate. In addition to the online sessions, founders participating in RESPOND are invited to three exciting in-person events across Europe.
The founders will work with expert coaches to develop their businesses and leadership skills. The pool of mentors will challenge and advise entrepreneurs on critical business and leadership decisions. Entrepreneurs will be connected to a diverse global network of founders, investors, corporates, and thought leaders. They promote founders and their startups at international conferences and through media coverage.
They’re fully committed to scaling your impact. RESPOND is a non-profit entity – the program is therefore completely free of charge, and they don’t take any equity.
