US Embassy - Sanborn Capital Lean Workshop for Entrepreneurs Sponsorship Proposal The Goal
For the 3rd time since its' founding in 2010 we are running the Lean Workshop for Entrepreneurs to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs in Hungary. We develop talented people who will learn how to establish a solid venture grounded in a prototype and an ethical, professional strategic business plan.
The Lean Workshop
We are a pre-accelerator program, we work with a pool of carefully selected potential entrepreneurs and provide them with business planning skills. We take them through the process of building a prototype. And they will be a part of an experience of surviving the „psychodrama” of working together as a team under pressure. The Workshop unfolds through 16 3-hours sessions over a 4 months period.
Numbers
In the last two successful workshops 41 people in 9 teams graduated in total. 39% of the past participants have been able to start their own businesses since then. This time we expect to receive 150+ applications. We will select 20-25 participants, with whom we will form 4-5 working teams.
Strong Team
The quality of the project is ensured by Sanborn Capital Management. The project management and implementation tasks are handled by Messzelátó Egyesület and the main Sponsor of the Workshop is the US Embassy in Hungary.
Sponsorship Opportunity
There is no fee for participants who are selected. However, the overall cost of the Workshop is $50.000. With their $8.400 grant, the US Embassy is again sponsoring us. The in-kind contribution of Sanborn Capital and Messzelátó is $19.600. Thus, we are seeking co-sponsors for the remaining $22.000 from members of the startup and investment community in Hungary.
