Talent Scouts
.
Want to help entrepreneurial minds in higher education grow into a successful journey at Gentrepreneur? That’s exactly what our Talent Scouts are on the lookout for. They spot entrepreneurial students, researchers and youth in their classes or during other activities related to their educational role, and connect them with Gentrepreneur.
We help them get started with tailored coaching, advice, programmes, a strong network and inspiring events. This way, we encourage their entrepreneurial spirit and give their ideas and plans the space to grow into thriving businesses.
Become a Talent Scout, and we’ll keep you up to date throughout the academic year with a limited number of targeted emails.
Call on entrepreneurial support
.
Gentrepreneur offers a diverse range of entrepreneurial support for Talent Scouts.
Introductory presentations by Gentrepreneur
Invite a Gentrepreneur coach into your class or activity to inspire your audience in an entrepreneurial way. The coach
- introduces how Gentrepreneur works;
- shares relatable entrepreneurial stories from student entrepreneurs (and may bring along a student entrepreneur to share their own story);
- gives an overview of Gentrepreneur's diverse range of offerings.
Member of your jury
Looking for a jury member for your participants' final pitch or project presentation? Let a Gentrepreneur coach join your jury.
Not only do our coaches bring their entrepreneurial experience to the table, but they can also offer a fresh, critical outside perspective. They provide constructive feedback with regards to the pitch and business model, ensuring a valuable, hands-on conclusion to your course or project.
Entrepreneurial materials
Newsletter
As a Talent Scout, you'll receive a limited number of targeted emails throughout the academic year, with tailored news and up-to-date promotional material to help promote our offering to the target audience. When you sign up as a Talent Scout, you're automatically added to this mailing list.
In addition, Gentrepreneur also sends out a general monthly newsletter with the latest updates. As a Talent Scout, you won't receive this newsletter automatically, but you're of course more than welcome to sign up it!
