SoS is all about helping early stage teams to start with their own thing. This two-month program consists of three main themes constantly repeated during the summer:
shaping the business proposition (thinking the idea thoroughly, understanding the customer problem, finding the business model) building the prototype (testing, failing and learning from the product and the business model) pitching (presenting the idea in a clear and effective manner, learning to shape the pitch according to the audience and a time limit)
