Who should apply

You should apply if:

• You're a student (current or recent graduate) and you want to start a real company
• You have an idea you're excited about, or you're paired with a co-founder you want to build with and trust the right idea will come
• You can commit to working on this full-time for the full 3 months — nothing else on the side
• You want to build something that serves a global audience, not just the Greek market

You don't need:

• A product, prototype
• Prior startup experience
• Revenue, users, or traction
• A pitch deck or business plan
