Prepare to go to market and maximize your startup success.
Do you want to learn what it takes and how to launch a successful business?
Santander X Launch programme, launched by Banco Santander, in collaboration with Babson College, is a high-impact twelve-week virtual program for teams who have come out of pre-incubation and want to explore the unique entrepreneurial skills and expertise required to move towards incorporation and bring a project to market.
Participating teams will get the most out of the program the further along they are with their business model, innovation concept or initial assessments of their intended markets and are looking to incorporate, go to market or raise external funding.
