What We Do

Entrepreneurship Academy.

Talent is distributed equally, opportunities are not. The Academy gives ambitious students real exposure to venture thinking, fundraising and founder stories.

What It Is

Entrepreneurship, before
anyone calls you a founder.

Most students never meet a founder or an investor before they graduate. Entrepreneurship stays an abstract idea, something other people do somewhere else. The Academy closes that gap.

Over ten weeks, students work on a real idea alongside people who have built and backed companies. They learn the frameworks, hear honest founder stories, talk to customers, test their assumptions, and end up pitching in front of real investors.

Some leave with a company. Most leave knowing that starting one is a path open to them, with a network that keeps the door open.

How It Works

Ten weeks, from first idea
to pitching real investors.

Students work in teams through three phases, learning from founders, investors and operators along the way.

Phase 01

Learn

Startup frameworks, how the ecosystem works, and founder stories from people who have built companies.

Phase 02

Build & refine

Teams find real problems, talk to customers, test assumptions and shape an early solution.

Phase 03

Show & connect

Pitch practice, then a pitch day in front of real investors, and access to the network that follows.

The Founding Cohort

First run with Óbuda University
and OUVC.

Óbuda University hosted the programme and brought its students. OUVC brought the perspective of Hungary's student-focused investment ecosystem. Pronto Ventures designed and ran it day by day, with guest speakers from our network, a pitch day in front of investors, and a trip to Torino during Wave.
