Entrepreneurial Literacy Initiative

What will the Entrepreneurial Literacy Initiative teach you?

Through ELI you will learn:

• Key facts and statistics about entrepreneurship such as founders’ background, risk-return considerations, psychological 'summits and valleys'
• Relevant career and personal development techniques such as how to build resilience and cope with failure
• How to prepare for your future entrepreneurial ventures such as building credibility, assembling teams, raising finance

How ELI works

ELI gives you access to a truly innovative EdTech experience:

• It is fully online and modular, meaning you can take it at your own path.
• It uses a combination of video and audio podcasts, interactive business cases, video lectures, knowledge clips, with some synchronous sessions and more!
• For those willing, there will also be a chance to meet students from other fields of study, and e-collaborate on some tasks.
• It is free and it will run between early February and late June 2023.
• You can earn a 2 ects Edubadge that you can boast on LinkedIn. For this, you need to pass a (very simple) test for each ELI module. 

Registration

ELI co-founders

ELI is a creation of Marco Da Rin and Martí Guasch (aka ‘the M&M studios’). Marco & Martî met in Tilburg in 2019, and shared a common vision for an initiative that would give students with a potential interest in entrepreneurship an idea of what going for such a career would require, whether it would suit their goals, and how to prepare for getting there. Their ambition is to make students and young adults ‘literate’ about what entrepreneurship means as a career, bringing them to make wise choices for their future (and for society).
