THE CHALLENGE

How can we demonstrate the added value of a multi-disciplinary, user-centered approach to creating viable, relevant, feasible and sustainable solutions?

our approach

The Haigo Startup Academy in 3 weeks: an intense bootcamp where students from 3 schools learn by doing around a social theme, meet an ecosystem and come face to face with the reality of entrepreneurship.

Our secret 

01

10 groups of students from HEC Paris, 42 and Strate, with everyone taking part at every stage.

02

A deliverable every day at 6pm, to keep up the pressure, 1 hour of theory, 1 hour of discussion with an ecosystem expert and 6 hours of coached practice every day.

03

An imposed theme to explore, without a sponsor, to generate 10 very different solutions.

They say it better than we do

"

It's a great experience that I'd recommend to anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit! I feel like I've got a lot of concrete tools that I'll be able to use in many different circumstances. It's the best experience I've had in my post-baccalaureate studies.
