The bridge from your faculty to Europe's startup ecosystem

Where we help you make industry collaboration count.

As the front door to Europe's startup ecosystem, we help you tighten your bond with industry, so that your graduates, researchers, and spin-outs can work with Europe's most ambitious startups.

The thesis behind the platform

Across Europe, a conversation is building. How do we stay competitive? How do we build the breakthroughs that will define the next era? A new wave of thinkers is calling for moral ambition, urging the next generation to work on what truly matters. This is clearly resonating, as we see young people (like ourselves) all around us itching to get to work on something meaningful. Unfortunately, the path from ambition to action is far from easy.

was started to close that gap. We inspire Europe's next generation of talent through a curated selection of startups with profiles that resonate and make the ecosystem reachable. And we don't stop there. We aim to connect the whole of Europe's fragmented ecosystem so the continent is ready for its next wave of breakthroughs. A biotech founder in Munich should be able to find a PhD researcher in Copenhagen. A startup in Delft should be able to reach the right investor in Paris. And your students, graduates, and PhDs should be able to find their place in it, whether it's down the road or across the continent.

In short: we aim to be the front door to Europe's startup ecosystem, built around the talent that will drive it forward.
