Shkulev Holding to Support Talented Student Media Projects

Shkulev Holding, one of the leaders of the Russian media market, has announced the launch of a student accelerator — a support program for students who want to create and develop their own projects in the media and digital spheres.

The new accelerator is designed as a practical platform where ideas turn into working products with a clear business model. Participants are promised not theory, but real help in launching and developing projects — from the first steps to reaching an audience and the market. The goal of the program is to help students grow a successful media business or a bright authorial project and give them tools for further growth.

Applications can be submitted by students of bachelor«s, master»s, and specialist programs in full-time study at Russian universities with state accreditation. Specialty does not matter: the decisive factors will be the idea, ambitions, and willingness to bring the project to fruition.

The best projects will receive support from Shkulev Holding. Participants can expect mentors from among managers and experts of the media market, consultations on strategy, content, marketing, and monetization, as well as help with legal and organizational issues. For the most promising initiatives, technical and financial support is provided, and, if necessary, access to the holding«s infrastructure and platforms.

The accelerator accepts projects in a wide variety of media and digital directions. For example, authorial texts, video, photo, and illustrations for new or existing websites, social networks, and print publications, advertising and special projects, digital services, developments using AI in media, and so on.

“The media of the future are being created today, and their authors are already studying in universities. Our task is to find the most talented and ambitious students, give them not just knowledge, but real tools and support for launching their first serious projects. We believe that such initiatives shape a new generation of media entrepreneurs,” notes Anatoly Rozhkov, development director of Shkulev Holding and head of the student accelerator project.

Application acceptance for the Shkulev Holding student accelerator is now open. Details are on the website students.shkulevholding.ru.
