In addition to various event formats, we would also like to actively assist you with individual questions. We are your first point of contact, particularly when it comes to the founding and growth phase of your digital start-up. We are very familiar with the digital start-up scene in the Ruhr area and have successfully supported many start-ups. Often it's not necessary to reinvent the wheel, because a specific tip in the right direction makes all the difference. Our goal: Supporting the various start-ups in NRW.
YOUR CONTACT PARTNERSSend us one or two short sentences about your company, what phase you are in and in which area you need support. We will contact you and tell you how we can help, or put you in touch with people in relevant positions.
The process and methods of our individual consultation and support are as varied as the questions and needs of young companies.
Sometimes, someone from our team can already help and sometimes there are people in other positions who are ideal for this. The advantage to us: We are very well networked within the digital economy of North Rhine Westphalia and can often provide you with direct contracts as mentors and experts.
Feel free to contact us, and we'll see what we can do for you. If you're looking for a Pitch Training opportunity, take a look at our Start-up Nights.
