17.01.2023: Founders Lab - All sectors 17.01.2023 - 25.04.2023

An intensive programme with the aim of validating your business idea.

 Do you want to fine-tune your business idea? During Founders Lab you will work intensively on your idea, together with the support of our experts, for 3 months.

The Founders Lab focuses on testing your business idea. How are we going to do that? By identifying your main assumptions about your market & target group(s), interviewing your target group and getting feedback from our experts and coaches. During Founders Lab you will definitely answer the following questions: Who is my target group? Does my product meet the needs of the target group? How can I design my product or service to create social and ecological impact? How does the financial planning of my idea look like?

All in all, we deal with the following topics during Founders Lab: Business model development, financing, social and ecological impact, marketing & sales, patent & trademark protection, legal issues as well as other key competences related to founding such as team development or mental fitness.

A Founders Lab that is open to all sectors will take place from January 17 to April 25.
