Young Entrepreneurs Program (YEP)by Fabian Tausch
Fabian Tausch built Young Entrepreneurs Program, a one-year educational cohort for young entrepreneurs aged 17-23, charging €1,800 per participant annually. After 2 years and €150,000 in expenses, the business achieved €30,000 in ARR but failed due to poor product-market fit, inability to scale the cohort model, and pandemic-related pivots that alienated the core audience. The shutdown came when Fabian realized the business required substantial additional capital and time investment without clear path to profitability.
