Entrepreneurship is a lifelong journey - Why XPRENEURS is more than just a program, interview with Sascha Koberstaedt

“You never stop learning – and entrepreneurship is always individual.” Building a start-up is an incredible journey - but it’s also filled with challenges that no founder should face alone. That’s where XPRENEURS comes in. Take it from Sascha, founder of encosa, who joined XPRENEURS not once, but twice - first in Batch #1 with Evum Motors and again in Batch #16. Why? Because the value of the program goes far beyond its 3 months.
