START Fellowship

START Fellowship is a philanthropic incubator and accelerator empowering young founders from low- and middle-income countries to put their ideas into reality through an interdisciplinary program. We strive for a world of equal opportunities for entrepreneurs. Together with our network and community, we bring a value-add to entrepreneurial ecosystems by strengthening relations globally as a bridge-maker. Our goal is to support a diverse range of young entrepreneurs to have a positive impact on their communities and to lay the groundwork for a more equitable future for all of the world.
