Start-up Initiative

Science

The Start-up Journey of the MAXpreneurs Initiative consists of the phases: Science, Ideation, Pre-Founding and Start-up & Scale-up. In the early science phase of a potential start-up, we would like to introduce you as a scientist to the world of entrepreneurship.

Are you inspired for a potential spin-off and want to qualify yourself to actually go down the path?
Would you like to know which methodology you can use to develop a potential business model for your project, obtain initial customer feedback and plan your market entry?
Would you like to develop a process tailored to your need for working your spin-off and be supported by experienced mentors?

Become part of our MPF Start-up Academy!

In our online program, you (and your potential team) will go through various qualification workshops that are essential for a successful start-up:

Start-up Basics: Avoid stumbling blocks and learn our tips & tricks for your path to a spin-off in Germany.
MPF Business Model Canvas: Develop a potential business model using the Business Model Canvas technique.
Market & Competitor Analysis: Get to know tools with which you can analyze your potential business environment.
Lead Customer: Work according to the lean start-up approach: generate customer feedback and conduct successful interviews.
Start-up Process: Define and visualize your individual start-up process.

Through these workshops, we lay the foundation for your project and prepare you in the best possible way for the next steps towards your spin-off.

The content is taught over period of four weeks on Tuesdays from 16.00-18.30 and Fridays from 14.00-16.30.

Events are planned for the following periods:

May 2025
September 2025
