Beschreibung

Starting from a problem that one of our 2-3 practice partners describes at the beginning of the course, you will develop your own first prototype and a business case in coordination with the practice partner throughout the course.

The lectures containing entrepreneurial know-how and the experience of the several guest speakers will help you to successfully accomplish your first experience as entrepreneur.

During the course you will present your MVP and the elaborated business model (Business Model Canvas). At the end of the course there will be a final presentation of the whole Start-up concept in front of a jury that consists of your practice partner, the E-School Team and an external expert.
