Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
EWOR is a radically selective fellowship backing the world's top 0.1% of founders. The firm invests in people, not companies, focusing on extraordinary individuals with the ambition and ability to build transformational €10B+ companies from day one. Rather than focusing on startup ideas or traction, EWOR emphasizes exceptional founders—often academics, PhDs, technical experts, or serial entrepreneurs with track records of exceptional performance in unconventional settings. Core focus areas include deep tech, AI & machine learning, health-tech & digital biomarkers, space, robotics, and hard-tech, climate & energy storage, and neuro-inspired software and computing. The fellowship is global and virtual-first, providing intensive, bespoke support from full-time unicorn builders (SumUp, Adjust, ProGlove) with weekly 1:1 mentorship sessions. EWOR operates with a 10-year time horizon and no pressure to follow traditional VC timelines, helping outliers scale faster and smarter anywhere globally.
Notable quotes
“We believe that European founders can go to SF now for like two months, do the fundraising there, come back, employ their people here, run their ventures from Europe, find incredible talent, but still have a little bit of a bridge.”
“The very honest answer is, we've been competing a little bit with things like YC.”
“Harder than Y Combinator, built by unicorn founders: EWOR is the fellowship you actually want to get into.”
