What our Mentors have to say

Working with international founders through EGC has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The level of ambition and resilience they bring, often while navigating entirely new markets, is something you do not see every day. It is a privilege to support founders who are not just building companies, but expanding what is possible for themselves and their communities.

Mentoring through EGC has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Watching founders in the Western Balkans turn bold ideas into thriving businesses reminds me why I got into this work in the first place.
