What’s the thing about Econverse V4?
Econverse – “an MUN for startups” – is a startup simulation.
Before the event, we match our participants into teams of 5 and with a mentor from companies who helps them create a new business idea
within a pre-defined industry sector.
During the event, within 48 hours, participants create a model startup and a pitch deck, which they later present to a jury made out of VCs, Business Angels
and Public Leaders.
Econverse V4 is where teens will design their own startup ideas in brand-new international teams. The Top four teams from each of these cities will then face off in Warsaw in March 2025 in the Grand Finale of Econverse V4.
This initiative is unprecedented in its scale.
