In business, a great idea is just the starting point on the road to success. Everything starts with an idea, but creating a comprehensive product and launching it on the market is a whole different animal. It’s undoubtedly a long and bumpy road that requires a lot of energy and determination. (But a pinch of luck and support won’t hurt either!) But if you manage to go all the way to the end… You won’t regret it.
You can decide to join an accelerator, which will provide you with consultations at a preseed stage, help you identify its strengths and weaknesses, arm you with the necessary knowledge, add the required competencies and support the comprehensive development of your product, fund its growth or find an investor who may be interested in financing its development, and eventually help you launch it on the market.
All this can be provided to you by eduLAB. Are you interested? If so, read on.
The eduLAB methodology.
We have a bespoke methodology for identifying current challenges and needs of the education sector, as well as sourcing ideas to address them, verifying their potential, and fully engaging in their development. What matters most from the originators’ point of view is the technological, business and financial support of the project and team throughout the process of product development, as well as its commercialisation, scaling and attracting further investors.
We gather ideas from experienced software developers, as well as people who have nothing to do with technology – experienced start-ups and newcomers to the business world. We want to identify projects with the greatest potential and support or boost the competencies necessary for its development.
We are a part of the Euvic Group, one of the largest technology groups in Poland, which affords us many great opportunities – access to software development and business experts, who are our mentors. This is how we form interdisciplinary teams and share knowledge. All that so that start-ups founded by eduLAB can respond to the challenges of education and be best-prepared to enter the market and function in the business world.
Who are we waiting for?
We look forward to inviting teams and individuals who have an idea for a new technology solution for the education sector and want to see it come to fruition. The applications are open to individuals and existing companies. You don’t have to have a lot of experience, just a good idea and a lot of motivation to see the project through to its completion.
How to apply?
We are going to cut to the chase – you are not going to avoid paperwork, but fear not, it is not as bad as it might seem… don’t get discouraged right from the get-go! We will do our best to make the process as seamless and painless as it can get, that is why we have prepared a step-by-step manual that will explain the whole process.
