How I Got Paid to Learn Entrepreneurship
It’s called Erasmus for Entrepreneurs, and it’s awesome.

The Story
In December 2021, I was going around the Internet when I stumbled upon a program called Erasmus for Entrepreneurs.
The homepage was rusty but claimed that the program had welcomed over 11 000 entrepreneurs since 2011.
I was surprised. I had never heard of it.
I was living in Estonia at the time, had a job, and was building my own company so I forgot about it…until March 2023.
By that time, my company had failed, I had lost my job, and I had moved out of Estonia. But I was earning enough money as a full-time writer to travel half of the time and live at home the other half.
I knew, though, that such a situation could not reasonably last.
As I wasn’t sure what to do with my life besides writing, I remembered this program and applied.
Long story short, a founder (we’ll call him Amar) contacted me shortly after I got into the database.
