Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR)

The EiR takes on a specific Lemon Ideas project, initiative or vertical and drives it with a team, which Lemon describes as the closest thing to building a company without founding one yet. Past and current projects have included the Innopreneurs platform, digital marketing and community building, the children's entrepreneurship programme and international partnerships. It runs a year, Lemon provides both the mentoring and the money to run the initiative, and the same route is used for internships.

What you get

• A year running a real initiative end to end, with a team
• Mentoring and training towards creating your own venture
• Leadership, team management and financial experience
• Earning and livelihood support while you do it

Who can apply

• Aspiring entrepreneurs who want the experience before starting out
