Program
WHY?
Venture Cup has created the Tutor Program to connect valuable
knowhow and experience between tutors (established startups)
and tutees (startups at idea stage) with great potential. The program is a pre-mentor program, which gives early stage startups
the needed skills to take their idea to the next level. At the same
time the program provides both parts with an indispensable networking opportunity.
WHAT?
HOW?
The Tutor program is a network based peer-mentoring
program. Within our startups
we have a huge amount of
knowhow – by connecting different startup stages we can
help the early stage startup
develop their great ideas and
help our Tutors build their
business character – Together we prepare each startup to
carter the business world.

Structure
The Tutor Program takes six months and has four application deadlines. In each quarter the startup
teams are able to either join the program or apply for additional/new Tutors or if the team are ready
for it, they can apply for a mentor.
The Tutor Program takes one year and is divided in 4 quarters. In each quarter tutees can apply for
a new tutor. After receiving the application, tutees and tutors are matched by coordinators at Venture
Cup.
Each quarter has its deadlines and a Kick-off event. The purpose of the Kick-off event is to get more
familiar with the program as well as network with other mentees and mentors.
