Entrepreneur in Residence

Who is NATE?

NATE is the next generation tech learning platform for professionals with business background. Native tech education is driven by proven leaders from the software world. Throughout various modules the program aims to empower people to handle the challenges of the digital world and help them grow in their field. Much like the PowerMBA but for technology.

Let's build the future of education in tech.

Who we are and what we believe in?

A group of digital product and technology enthusiasts, who have been at the forefront of software delivery in the European ecosystem for the last years. We believe that the cognitive gap between "the business" and "the developers" needs to be closed. Most companies can improve on decision making when it comes to technology. Hence, every employee should receive the best education to take better decisions - NATE.

We love the outdoors and are looking for an alternative to today's work concepts, hence the Co-Founder should be passionate about life and its opportunities outside of the office. Some of us are living close by, others very remote. Some have kids, some have dogs and some have both.

Our story

We are Sarah and Jan Lukas, the founders of NATE. We are passionate about technology and what it can do to people's lifes.

In the light of an ever increasing impact of technology on all aspects of life, we find it frustrating how little universities and companies are able to prepare us for taking decisions in this environment. While developers can use various sources for constant upskilling and basically everyone can do an MBA, there is no qualitative learning path for someone working a business job with a need to better understand the technology she or he is dealing with daily.

This situation will exacerbate the more digital we become. A staggering amount of employees globally is facing the need to upskill today to be able to still take the right decisions tomorrow.

We want to put everyone in the position to take smart business decisions about technology. Hence, we connect both worlds to make learning more effective and future proof.
