· Programme is a 3-year full-time PhD requiring enrolment and venture creation from scratch within the doctoral structure (Year 1: scope, Year 2: invent, Year 3: spin out). Applicant is an active pre-seed founder with three published preprints, confirmed hypotheses H1–H5, a provisional patent, and running platforms — the VSD assumes participants are starting their research journey, not continuing one. Applicant's stated goal is direct venture/incubator funding (€30K–€2.5M), not doctoral training; programme type is categorically misaligned with stage, goals, and funding needs.
