Fever, the leading global live-entertainment discovery platform that has recently achieved unicorn status following a $227 million round led by Goldman Sachs, has just announced the creation of Fever's Excellence Scholarships in Engineering.

"There is a common belief that reference tech companies are only created in Silicon Valley or that the best opportunities are abroad, however, Fever has demonstrated that tech companies can be created with the opposite belief: Spain has the best talent, and from within, you can create a world leader of an entire industry," says Francisco Hein, Fever’s co-founder, "that's why Fever's Excellence Scholarships in Engineering was born, to support and retain national talent." 

This scholarship - equipped with up to €24,000 per year - is a grant for top students in their class to complete their final stage of studies by participating in the growth of a global tech start-up leading the transformation of the entertainment industry. The scholarship is aimed at senior engineering students or recent graduates with an excellent track record and the winners will be able to join high-performance teams in any of Fever’s departments: software, product, data science, operations, growth, or expansion are just a few examples.

Fever - whose mission is to democratize access to culture and entertainment - is the leading global live-entertainment discovery platform, helping millions of people discover the best experiences in their cities every month. Through its platform, Fever inspires users to enjoy unique local experiences and events, from immersive exhibitions, interactive theatrical experiences, festivals, to molecular cocktail pop-ups, while empowering creators with data and technology to create and expand experiences across the world.

The company, co-led by Spaniards Ignacio Bachiller Ströhlein, Alexandre Pérez Casares, and Francisco Hein,  in just five years has gone from being present in three cities to becoming a global leader in its category in over 60 cities in Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania.
