Overview
Mission
Empower aspiring entrepreneurs from the Western Balkans through fully funded, equity-free programs and cross-border collaboration.
What it reported doing in 2024
One of our flagship programs is the bold fellowship for entrepreneurship, a human-centered experiential entrepreneurship program that provides aspiring entrepreneurs with the skills and resources they need to transform their ideas into successful ventures. The fellowship aims to create a vibrant community of entrepreneurs who can leverage their collective expertise, experiences, and networks to overcome the challenges associated with starting and scaling a venture in southeast europe. With our partners in the region and mentors in the u.s., we bridge the gap by connecting young founders with successful individuals and companies. At egc, we believe that entrepreneurship is a catalyst for adding economic value, creating jobs, and fostering social innovation, providing the opportunity for young generations to cooperate and create action-orientated networks. By supporting aspiring entrepreneurs in southeast europe and around the world, we hope to create a future of possibilities for all.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
