"You need to do your homework first, but if you know what you need, the Rise programme is the best thing that could ever happen to your business."
To join Rise, you must fit the following:
Our Entrepreneur-in-Residence will lead a CEO to CEO conversation with you and use a data-driven tool to map the bottlenecks on your scaling journey.
Fill in the form via the button below and we will get in touch with you.
Also, we believe in the power of diversity and inclusion, and therefore encourage applications from founding teams with a wide array of backgrounds.
We do not seek equity. There is no cost involved for the scaleups, besides travel expenses and/or accommodation.
Final selection will be made by an independent selection committee. After the submission deadline, our scouting team will be in touch and ask you to submit a personal video of up to 2 minutes to brief the jury for Selection Day. Selection is based on the overall value proposition, traction, potential to scale, team and program fit. After approval, you get an invitation for Selection Day where you'll meet the jury for a Q&A style conversation.
