Learn more about the Roxbourg xMBA Fellowship
1. For Entrepreneurs Only: The Roxbourg xMBA Fellowship is an independent, practitioner-led venture acceleration qualification for visionary founders who learn by doing. Drive real-world impact and contribute to Nation Building by building and scaling a legally registered, double-bottom-line venture that tackles humanity’s biggest challenges.
2. Eligibility Criteria: Evaluated by Service Professional Acceleration Affairs (SPAA), applicants must demonstrate:
Active Community Impact Venture: A live project or enterprise addressing essential human needs or social infrastructure - such as clean water, balanced nutrition, breathable air, renewable energy, quality education, reliable healthcare, secure housing, startup capital, or self-expression - with clear double-bottom-line goals (financial sustainability paired with verified community impact).
Completed Basic Academic Education: A completed foundational degree or equivalent professional literacy.
Entrepreneurial Readiness: Strategic thinking, operational awareness, adaptability, and a strong commitment to peer collaboration.
Note: Admission grants entry into the acceleration tracks; final qualification issuance depends strictly on real-world venture validation by the PVB. Majamba Sàrl operates a Zero-Equity model and provides no direct equity or debt investment.
3. Admissions & Participation Requirements: Candidates apply through our structured 5-step process: (1) Ecosystem Registration & Impact Application, (2) Professional Interview, (3) Validation of Evidence, (4) Partial Scholarship Offer (valid 14 days), and (5) Pre-Onboarding & Induction.
Candidates must supply their own computer hardware and reliable internet access, maintain at least 80% attendance in live weekly seminars per 100-day track, and actively participate in weekly peer study groups (2 - 4 hours/week).
4. Fees & Merit-Based Partial Scholarships: Roxbourg is committed to making world-class professional education accessible to purpose-driven founders tackling humanity's core challenges.
Fee Structure: Consists of a mandatory CHF 800 administrative onboarding fee plus a merit-based service fee contribution towards the 8,800 Swiss Francs.
Merit-Based Partial Scholarships: Evaluated across four pillars: Venture Maturity & Impact, Strategic Need, Economic Context, and Skin in the Game.
Flagship Offer - Core Team Expansion: Completing the Launchpad Track (100 Days) unlocks merit-based partial scholarships for up to 4 core team members to join the Roxbourg xMBA Fellowship without additional service fees.
5. Learning Method: Delivered through the proprietary 27-step SwissMBA.Org methodology (1 to 3 two-hour sessions per week) combined with weekly peer study groups, the Roxbourg xMBA Fellowship spans 300 Days (12 - 14 Months) across three modular 100-day execution semesters:
Launchpad Track (100 Days): Establish a rock-solid operational, legal, and strategic foundation.
Acceleration Track (100 Days): Secure gap-filling anchor deals (verified commercial contracts, purchase orders, or strategic agreements) and build repeatable double-bottom-line revenue.
Validation Track (100 Days): Execute international partnerships and prepare for live venture defense before the Professional Validation Board (PVB).
Note: The xMBA requires 1 Launchpad Semester plus 2 Acceleration or Validation Semesters.
6. Validation & Honors: Prior to validation, candidates must legally register their venture, maintain an operational public website, and submit verified traction and impact metrics. You will then defend your venture live before the Professional Validation Board (PVB), which scores ventures using a Blind-Validation Protocol across Innovation & Impact, Strategic Feasibility, and Demonstrated Progress. Secure a minimum 80% score to earn your fellowship, or achieve 90%+ (or 5 points above the cohort average, minimum 80%) to earn the prestigious Roxbourg Gold Medal.
7. Certification & Post-Nominals: Graduates earn the Roxbourg xMBA Fellowship from the Roxbourg Institute of Social Entrepreneurship (RISE), with domain specializations (such as Humanitarian, Sustainable, Engineers, Creative, Executive, Entrepreneurship, Group Humanitarian, Athletes, or Regenerative) confirmed during PVB defense. Graduates are authorized to use the post-nominal xMBA Fellow (Roxbourg) under professional certifications in their biographies and retain 100% ownership and IP of their ventures.
8. Global Showcase & Ecosystem: Validated fellows receive an invitation to showcase live at GoodFestival in Switzerland - a premier global celebration of sustainable innovation. Fellows also join the OneMillionSparks global network (100+ countries) and may be invited to license the Roxbourg brand to operate an independent local Startup Studio or Business Incubator.
9. Good100 Medal: Validated ventures serving 100 or more users/partners with verified legal registration and digital transparency qualify for the Good100 Medal, celebrating measurable, sustained community impact.
