The SOE Global Network Think Tank is a 6-month long SOE Affiliated Company (SAC) Vetting Program, available to all in the SOE Global Network who are still in the conception stage of a new business. Entrepreneurs in the SOE Global Network Think Tank get a weekly Entrepreneur-in-Residence salary - differs according to country - for business expenses, so they can spend their time solely focused on turning their viable business idea into an operational SAC in the SOE Global Network.
The SOE Global Network Think Tank includes an individually matched SOE Business Liaison, so at the end of the Program, after a comprehensively researched and well-written Business Plan has been vetted, Start-Up Funding will be granted, and the new SAC will be welcomed into the SOE Global Network.
NOTE: The SOE vetting process is thorough, hence completion of the SOE Think Tank does not guarantee the business will pass vetting for SOE-Funded Start-Up Capital, and/or gain admittance into the SOE Global Network.
Entrepreneurs in the SOE Global Network Think Tank must complete/submit monthly reports (by 30th/last day of month for the month of February) before weekly payment cycles for each month begins.
All Applicants must have a webcam and working microphone, as well as the capability to share screens/monitors in order to get an interview, as interviews are Web-based.
Interviews are precisely thirty (30) minutes long, during which time Entrepreneurs must thoroughly describe, and if possible, demonstrate, their idea for a new business. All applicants must be at least eighteen (18) years of age.
