The basics of setting up a Business Plan and launching a startup are the topics of this course. This course is of special interest for students interested in starting up their own business idea or interested in learning in a hands-on approach about the most important ingredients of venturing.
This course brings together prospective founders that provide the business idea with business students that provide consulting to the prospective founders in an interactive course. The professors take the role of facilitators of the process of writing a business plan and preparing and delivering a pitch.
Organizational aspects
This course will be taught in English but we require all students to be fluent in German as the business plan will be predominantly written in German.
Students have to apply to this course by March 31st on the ILIAS Platform with a short CV and transcript of records. The professors will organize the students in groups and match them with one prospective founder per group.
