Abstract Since its foundation, Universidad EAN has been a pioneer in offering formation and training to foster entrepreneurial competencies; for this reason, it has always been a permanent challenge to design programs focusing on the formation of entrepreneurs. This article describes the entrepreneurs’ tutoring and follow- up made following necessary global trends in Colombian ecosystems, such as applied design thought on business, agile entrepreneurship, accelerating programs and innovation resulting from research, which have become the best practices of company incubation for universities (Bhatli, 2014). From this start, we analysed the evolution, processes and outcomes of Universidad EAN tutoring and follow- up programs: IN3 Model (Incubate- Innovate- Integrate), the Entrepreneur Assistance Office ("PAE" in Spanish) and the Seed Capital Funding, as well as the current program named EAN Impact.

Keywords : Entrepreneurship; company incubation; entrepreneurship offices; entrepreneurial assistance models; Universidad EAN.
