Institutions
I work with the institutions that fund and run entrepreneurship support programs. What I design is the program itself: how candidates are found, how they are selected, what the journey holds, and how it ends.

The work
Who I work with
02
Support organisations
I also work with support organisations directly, on the structure of what they offer and on the way they finance it.
03
Project holders
Alongside that, I keep accompanying entrepreneurs myself. The two activities run together, and each one informs the other.
What I don’t do
I do not do awareness work. I design programs for people who have already decided to go.
Programs
Three programs mark the last fifteen years.
Boost Accelerator
I designed the program and its business model with my associates.
Afkar Incubator
I built it, then ran it for five years.
Dot Landing
I designed this dedicated program with Expertise France.
Institutions and funders
