The fellowship program follows our education cycle, which contains six modules.
The world’s top innovators will teach you the art of discovering true customer needs, may it be through clustering techniques, specific observation tools, or drill-down techniques. You will find these tools not only helpful to achieve product-market fit quickly, but also to constantly innovate and amend your product offerings.
Creativity follows different rules than analytical thinking. We will teach you how to systematically make use of your creativity, brainstorm ideas, synthesise them and derive powerful value propositions.
Before you build a product around your value proposition, there are thousands of techniques and tricks to test the demand and market for your products. You will learn how to build websites, run micro-marketing campaigns and leverage analytics tools to validate your ideas quickly.
You’ll learn how to co-create ventures with your customers, and launch prototypes quickly. Especially for digital prototypes, we will provide you with an arsenal of no-code prototyping tools helping you to build products without writing any line of code. Especially ambitious individuals can take our courses on coding, too.
Learn how to constantly improve your product, by thinking customer-centric and launching new features and product improvements fast. You will learn how to navigate and manage your team effectively and become an entrepreneurial leader.
You will learn about term sheet negotiations with investors, investor networks, pitching, sales and leading growing ventures. As your organisation grows, you will have to focus on making few right decisions instead of making many mediocre decisions. We’ll teach you how.
Although Europe has a sound political system and stable corporate jobs that yield decent pay, entrepreneurship is not the continent’s highest priority. We support you to build an impact-driven venture in a risk-reduced setting. Our mission is to help hundreds of thousands of individuals to build companies that matter.

Michael graduated from LSE and worked for the Saatchi Brothers for over 20 years. Having run large global clients from London he then set up M&C Saatchi’s offices in Hong Kong, New York, London, Africa and The Middle East.
In 2008 he launched LONDON Advertising as a new type of global agency, working from one office in London and using technology to disrupt the existing large, slow and bureaucratic networks. The Agency has created work that has run in more countries than WPP has offices.LONDON has been awarded Agency of the Year six out of the last seven years.
Michael has been responsible for the inception and managing perhaps one of the world’s most iconic campaigns for 22 years – the Fan campaign for Mandarin Oriental. Featuring over 100 of the world’s most renowned individuals from Dame Helen Mirren to Morgan Freeman, Michael has secured their collaboration without paying them and even reunited the Beatles to appear in a collage of the campaign by Sir Peter Blake.
Michael has ‘used the difficulty’ of crises to build his agency’s brand:
• In 2012, in the midst of the financial crisis he offered a £100,000 prize to find the best digital marketing talent. He incubated the winning idea and secured £4m investment off a business plan, making it the most invested tech start-up in Europe.
• During the Covid-19 crisis he launched a major TV, Outdoor and Digital campaign to grow his agency’s brand awareness by promoting the benefits of advertising in a recession. This resulted, according to a recent poll, in LONDON Advertising becoming the best-known agency in the UK. You can watch a short video about it here.
Michael was awarded UK CEO of the Year 2020 but is most proud of his Order of Merit awarded by the Knights of Malta for his charity work.
