wallybeacon's Mentorship Program

Turning amazing ideas into real projects

wallybeacon's Mentorship Program supports students in transforming their ideas into detailed, well-structured projects with guidance from MAIZE's experienced Business & Strategy Design Mentors.

The Mentors will lead students step-by-step through two remote plenary sessions - alternating between training and working moments - as well as individual checkpoints with their assigned teams. They will use the Business Design methodology, an action-based and customer-centric approach that strongly relies on fast prototyping, testing, and quantitative validation.
