The exchange took place between Hugo Grube, a Latvian new entrepreneur aiming to strengthen his digital marketing and business development skills, and Olga Keliy, an experienced entrepreneur based in Tenerife, Spain. Hugo discovered the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) programme through business networking channels and saw it as an opportunity to gain hands-on mentorship from a successful entrepreneur abroad. Olga joined the programme to exchange ideas, expand her network, and explore new marketing approaches.


Both participants expected the collaboration to bring mutual benefits: Hugo aimed to improve his company’s online marketing presence and strategy, while Olga sought fresh insights and potential European connections to grow her business.


Throughout the four-month exchange, Hugo, new entrepreneur, and Olga, host entrepreneur, collaborated closely to enhance their respective businesses. They began with market research and competitor analysis to align their goals. Together, they developed a tailored digital marketing plan, launched social media and content campaigns, and optimized website SEO based on traffic analysis. Hugo created a professional pitch presentation with Olga’s guidance, and both attended networking events to build connections across Europe.

Weekly mentoring sessions fostered a strong relationship built on open feedback, shared knowledge, and mutual growth. The partnership blended strategic insight with creative execution, resulting in measurable improvements for both entrepreneurs.


The exchange led to significant professional growth for both entrepreneurs. Hugo gained hands-on experience in digital marketing, website optimization, and strategic planning, while also refining his communication and pitching skills. Olga benefited from fresh marketing ideas and expanded her reach through new project initiatives. Their collaboration enhanced both companies’ online presence and client engagement strategies.

The strong working relationship developed over the months has opened doors for future cooperation, including potential joint projects and cross-border partnerships. The skills acquired and contacts made have laid a solid foundation for continued collaboration and long-term business growth.
