24.01.2023: Founders Lab - Creative Industries January to May 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 – Creative Industries will take place from January 24 to May 5. The Creative Industries include architecture, urban planning, design, design market, fashion, multimedia (incl. gaming), music and film industry as well as publishing.
