Question 7

Is the program only for young professionals?

Accepted Answer

Of course not! Just as we have people of all careers and vocations, we have people of all ages. The majority of people who apply are between 23 and 35 years old, but we have had participants who are in their 40s, 50s and even 60s. That generational diversity always enriches the program immensely. Furthemore, the desire and willingness to create change is ageless!

After completing the program will I have created my business model?

Accepted Answer

The truth is, that this depends on you! The objective of the Lab is to support your process towards either creating your first product and achieving some initial sales, or grow the sales you are already making. You will be challenged to build the central elements of the strategy of a social enterprise, and encouraged every week to put those strategies into motion.

How does the Quántica Fair work?

Accepted Answer

Enrollment in the program includes participation in our Quántica Fair*.
