Is this program for you?

✅ You should apply if:

• You're an experienced professional or entrepreneur passionate about transforming the food system
• You're eager to build with like-minded peers on impactful, purpose-driven solutions
• You're excited to start from scratch and/or open to rethinking what your venture could become
• You're ready to take the leap: committed to co-founding full-time (min. 4 days/week from March 2026) and in a position to take the risks of building your own company
• You're aligned with a systemic and regenerative approach — not here to build the next unicorn, but a zebra or forest
• You're certain you want to be a founder — not just exploring or joining a startup
• You're able to join in person in Rotterdam at least 2 days per week during the program
• You have at least 6 months of financial runway from the program start (Mach 2026)

❌ This program might not be the right fit if:

• You’ve just graduated and don’t yet bring relevant experience
• You’re not ready to engage in a full-time, in-person program
• You’re looking to join a team, not co-found one
• You want to start or join an NGO, initiative, or freelance project, not a long-term venture
• You’re unsure about entrepreneurship or want to test the waters
• You're not interested in building ventures focused on systemic change in the food system

If the Venture Building Program is not the right fit, our course might be what you are looking for.
