Kickoff EHV - kickoffehv - Student Startup Club Eindhoven
Brainport's first startup and entrepreneur club.
For students, by students.
Hiring our next board
This past year
We put student entrepreneurship on the map in Eindhoven. Founder talks with Picnic, Felyx, Swapfiets and more. 250+ students per event. €4 billion in founder experience in the room. We also launched Kickoff Ventures — Eindhoven's first student accelerator, built to fund the next world-class ideas.
Next year
We take this to a whole new level. And we're looking for the most ambitious people in Brainport to make it happen.
Who we're looking for
The most driven, entrepreneurial students in Brainport. You don't need a startup yet — but you should be the kind of person who wants to build one, or build the community that does.
No prior board experience required. What we care about: drive, ownership, taste, and the willingness to do the work.
