How a lesson works
Five steps, every time
Every lesson has the same shape, so you never have to work out what to do next. This one is Lesson 2.3, from Module 2.
Lesson 2.3 · Who exactly is my customer?
Meet Ana, 34. She works full time and has two kids. She picks them up at 4 pm.
Her biggest problem: no time to plan and cook healthy dinners.
Who is your Ana?
Your Workbook
This book is empty. That is the point.
Write your idea below. Every lesson fills in one more page, until it is a plan you can show someone.
One line is enough. You can change it later.

Who is behind it
An Erasmus+ project for young founders
RISE is a European partnership that listened to young entrepreneurs first, then built the lessons around what they asked for: a clear path, not more theory.
Three countries
Built with partners in Türkiye, France and Malta.
EntreComp
Every lesson practises skills from the European framework: ideas and opportunities, resources, into action.
Private by design
