After a few week of break, we are happy to retake the STARTS in MOTION programme, with the 8 teams that have been awarded with the programme and work with mentors on their business model and development strategy.

For this new session, we will approach alternative pricing strategies & peculiar business case studies, showing how being creative about your entrepreneurial model can support your vision, ethics and values.

It will go through nine fair & creative pricing strategies, developed by entrepreneurs who want to make their product and services broadly accessible, while still making a living out of their company. We will also go through three inspiring business experiments beyond pricing, inviting you to be creative about all dimensions of your entrepreneurial model.

17h10: Presentation of Michka Mélo
