Case studies
just to create a sense of community. Some examples of how the community has thrived over the past few years is with successful entrepreneurs graduates from CSE becoming mentors for different CSE programs, ‘Open Wednesdays’ have become a platform for entrepreneurs to connect with each other and ‘Startup Fridays’ have become a constant source of motivation for budding entrepreneurs.
Assets
CSE uses methods that provide young people with a good and stable start into their future career. While starting your own business might, without a doubt, be a stressful process, the way CSE works ensures getting help at each stage of setting up a company. Moreover, an informal setting of the meetings provides a smooth first step into the complex world or entrepreneurship. The condensed programme ensures that the learning phase happens at all of its stages and its focus is placed at the creative process as a whole rather than just on its end outcome.
Challenges
One of the challenges faced by the CSE is balancing between the scope and quality of their offer. Providing help to more people might come at the cost of cutting down on the quality of their programme. In order to avoid that happening, CSE is dependent on constant financial support of the incubator by its sponsors and investors. Another thing that leaves room for improvement is the relatively short time dedicated for personal support and consultation. Setting up a company is a dynamic process without clear boundaries of all of its phases, therefore some entrepreneurs would require a longer period of time when they could receive guidance and consultation than others.
