LUISS ENLABS - Summer 2020

LUISS ENLABS ACCELERATION PROGRAM

• Our 5 months intensive Acceleration Program is divided into 11 Sprints, working time frames of 2 weeks each.
• During the first day of a Sprint - Planning Day - every startup defines its Business Goal and all the related tasks.
• When the Sprint is over, results are shown to our analysts and discussed during Checkpoint.
• At the end of the Program, the best startups meet potential new investors at Demo Day.

Once we select your startup we seed it with up to 160K €.

According to your startup' sector, you will attend the Program either in our Roman Hub at Termini Station or in our Milan Venue in the heart of the innovation district.
