The Benefits
In addition to the financial resources and the well-connected contacts, which should make it easier to start a business, it is above all the cross-industry know-how and the personal, competent advice from a self-selected coach that makes Hohenlohe 4 Talents interesting.
The application process
Every six months, prospective founders and young start-ups with a term of less than three years can apply for the scholarship and other support services via the website.
To get there, the first step is for applicants* to fill out the documents provided on the homepage.
As an executive service provider for initial consultation and support, hfcon GmH & Co. KG takes over the first interviews and helps to sound out the chances and possibilities of the application in cooperation with the applicant.
If the business idea is promising, the applicants receive the official application documents, which are then made available to the Hohenlohe 4 Talents jury. Based on predefined evaluation points, the jury selects its favorites and invites them to present themselves and their business idea in front of the jury at a so-called pitching event, completely in the manner of the lion's den.
