STARTPLAN

Your start-up in 8 weeks

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.

Marion Riedel

Founder and coach

In 8 weeks, you will learn how to use the Lean Startup method in group coaching sessions to develop your own start-up idea into a validated business model and finally have a precise plan on how to bring your idea into the world.
