Business Circle

  • Business consulting and mentorship
  • Strategic advice and connections

Innovative projects often face challenges beyond technical development. Many brilliant ideas struggle with visibility, sustainability, user adoption, or connecting to relevant stakeholders. The Business Circle initiative provides dedicated business consulting and mentorship tailored to you and your project.

The Business Circle support ensures your project's results do not stay in the lab, or remain unused – but reach intended audiences, communities, or markets effectively. Even without a 'business orientation', your project can greatly benefit from structured strategic advice and connections.
