Together with your Oost NL mentor and the other entrepreneurs in the programme, you will work to gather the right information you need to draw up a promising business case, financing or investment application. We will also give you the tools you need to present this properly.

In plenary sessions, you will work on all the building blocks of your business plan. We coach you on: market validation, intellectual property (IP) protection, team, value proposition, business model, financing strategy.

You will receive direct feedback from the other participants, but also from your mentor and our knowledge partners who are closely involved in the programme. Objective of the program is to come to a promising application for funding, financing and/or investments. Together with you we will work on well substantiated ingredients for your pitch deck or input for your funding application.
