SUMMARY:FSR x henQ | International Venture Capital Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Note: this event will be held in English Most recruitment event
 s for students involve the same kind of made-up cases to present to a fake
  customer or pretend investment committee.   The International Venture Ca
 pital Tour is different: Ten students will spend a day in Rotterdam with a
 ll three henQ partners and the founding CEO of Freeday.ai. You will work t
 ogether to assess the company and founder\, much like you would if you wer
 e already part of the henQ investment team.   Six students continue to ro
 und two: a fully paid two-day trip to Paris\, where you will again work wi
 th all three henQ partners and\, this time\, the founding CPO of Malou.io.
  We take the perspective of a board member\, to try and help Malou solve a
 n urgent challenge they are currently facing.   As such\, you will get a 
 glimpse of what it’s really like to work in venture capital\, and whethe
 r henQ is the fund for you. Win a year of free tuition Do you have an aver
 age grade of 8.25 or higher? Then applying also enters you into the henQ S
 cholarship draw.   Among all eligible applicants\, a winner will be selec
 ted at random. henQ will cover their tuition fee for the 2026–2027 acade
 mic year.   You don't need an 8.25 average to apply for the International
  Venture Capital Tour. Most Likely to Become VC Partner After two rounds t
 ogether\, the henQ team will pick the participant they think is most likel
 y to become a VC partner one day. Last year’s winner ended up signing a 
 full-time contract with henQ. She joins after graduating in 2027. (This wa
 s not part of the prize)   Round 1: Freeday.ai\, Rotterdam Date: November
  24 Location: Freeday.ai HQ\, Rotterdam You will spend the day with Freeda
 y’s founding CEO and the henQ partners. Freeday builds AI agents that au
 tomate repetitive work in customer service\, finance and HR. Its agents al
 ready handle more than 1 million interactions per month for companies like
  TUI\, citizenM and Bitvavo. Your job for the day is to assess Freeday as 
 an investment: understand the company\, form an opinion on the founding te
 am and decide what you would want to know before investing. There is no fi
 ctional case and no pretend investment committee. You will be discussing a
  real company with the people actually building and investing in it.   Ro
 und 2: Malou.io\, Paris Date: January 13–14 Location: Malou\, Paris Trav
 el and accommodation: fully paid by henQ Six students from Round 1 continu
 e to Paris for two days with Malou’s founding CPO and\, again\, the henQ
  partners. Malou automates marketing for more than 3\,500 restaurants\, wi
 th customers from Paris to New York. This time\, instead of deciding wheth
 er to invest\, you work as if you are already on their board: Malou will g
 ive you an urgent problem the company is actually dealing with\, and you w
 ill try to help solve it together. henQ pays for the trip from Rotterdam\,
  accommodation and the full program.   About henQ henQ invests in B2B tec
 hnology startups across Europe. They typically invest €1M–€10M per c
 ompany\, and make only a small number of new investments each year. VC web
 sites are full of fancy one-liners\, but a large part of the job is fairly
  simple: find exceptional founders with fast-growing revenue\, in markets 
 most other funds somehow don’t like. Then help as much as you can after 
 investing\, without getting in the way of a great founding team.   Event
