Cyriel Bournique
(Bee Safety and Cytron)
"Inscribed to the D2E, I was able to enjoy a double accompaniment both within the FSEG and with Etena. My project has evolved through personalized coaching, expert workshops and meetings at events organised by the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Strasbourg. I was lucky enough to take part in the Springboard course: these three months of exchanges, learning and good mood gave a real positive dynamic to my project! I was able to refine my vision, develop my skills and feel ready to realize my ambitions."
Ludovic Buisine
(Bisnet)
"It's been several weeks now that I've had the chance to be followed by caring people, listening and good advice. Etena is a structure that has helped me from a simple idea to the realization of my business. JI had the chance to follow the Incubation journey Springboard which has enabled me to acquire multiple knowledge in almost ALL areas of entrepreneurshipBut Etena's accompaniment does not stop there: at any question, at any request or at any doubt, someone was there to answer or support me. Thanks to the entire team for supporting me from my first contact until today, when the Springboard course is over, and for allowing me to know precisely what to do to feel good in a company that works best. "
Coralie Schirru
(Koko Club)
"To launch the Koko Klub, I needed an outside perspective to structure my ideas and create achievable goals and Etena helped me greatly. I was able to launch my first event much faster than I would have thought and create a small community around the concept of clothing exchange. I was lucky to have a tutor available and very good advice.
The accompaniment made me acquire fundamental tools to deepen my idea and feel more legitimate. The meeting with experts opened up my perspectives. The ad hoc workshops on specific themes are very beneficial and very concrete as well as frequent meetings with other students and this is very important for my journey."
