When you join our EiR program, you gain access to an unparalleled ecosystem of support. We leave no stone unturned in providing comprehensive support at every stage of your venture, ensuring you have the resources necessary to bring your vision to life.

There's more! At TandemLaunch, we go the extra mile to nurture your entrepreneurial journey. Throughout the process of developing your start-up, you and your team will receive invaluable coaching, mentorship, follow-on investment, competitive benefits, and a modest stipend. These day-to-day support systems are designed to ensure your start-up not only survives but thrives, equipping you with the confidence to navigate the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.

Timeline and Explanation

Now, let's talk about the timeline and what you can expect. Our EiR program's recruitment process consists of two interview rounds, followed by a final panel interview.
