Are you innovative? Do you want to set up your own company and realise your ideas? Do you need support and tips on financing? You don't have a concrete idea yet, but want to get something of your own off the ground? Do you see yourself as an entrepreneur of the future? Do you want to exchange ideas with like-minded people or need a coach to guide you through your start-up?
Then you've come to the right place!
Our programmes are available free of charge to all students, employees, researchers and alumni.
STARTPLAN is your alternative to the traditional career entry programme. Learn and experience entrepreneurial thinking and action, supported by experienced coaches and successful founders.
There will be no live round of our STARTPLAN incubator programme in the winter semester 2024/25 - however, you can work through the modules in self-learning mode and get individual coaching. We will then look together at where you are and what you need right now. Be sure to book a conversation with Coach Tineso that we can get you onboard.
