Discover the method
THE QUEST

Applications are open to become an elite member of our club. Subsequently, the recruitment of new members will be through affiliation: only individuals validated by a sponsor will be integrated as VC Scout THE QUEST.

Raising Awareness of
Entrepreneurship

THE QUEST encourages an entrepreneurial spirit among all students through talks on entrepreneurship (in-person or via Zoom) during which we share our experiences and those of the entrepreneurs and startups that we support.

Support students
in their project

“Once you have found a problem that you are passionate about in what looks like a promising market, start as fast as possible.” The most ambitious can join our programme.

Propose Entrepreneurial Experiences
Field

We want to enhance the skills of student entrepreneurs in business creation and management. To achieve this, we are organising practical entrepreneurial events (hackathons, workshops...) to help them realise their projects.

Internship, apprenticeship & job opportunities

Partner schools and associations receive priority, before external online publication, for opportunities from our startups.
