Join our workshop and get an understanding of what various cash providers require in terms of deliveries and ownership in your startup. We will focus on easy understandable terms; hence anyone can join.

We will cover sources such as:

- Bootstrapping
- FFF (friends, family and fools)

We negotiate every day – even in situations where we don’t think we negotiate. We negotiate with suppliers and customers as well as with colleagues, family and friends.

‍

Knowing what you want and how to ask for it is a highly valuable skill needed to succeed in negotiations. But as an inexperienced entrepreneur you might find it surprisingly difficult to ask for what you want. Be it in relation to customers, investors or other people who engage with your startup.

‍

The goal of this workshop is to make you more efficient in “getting what you want” and at the same time maintaining good relationships. This will help you attract much needed resources such as practical help from other people and better deals with your suppliers.

Will you make money? When will you run out of cash? When will you need additional money?

‍

Financially sound operations are key to any startup that wants to be in the market for the long run. At the same time it is very tricky to credibly forecast a startup’s future financial situation.

‍

While your cash flow statement tells you if/when you run out of cash, the financial forecast tells you whether you will become profitable in the future.

‍

In this workshop you will learn how to set up your own cash flow statement and how to forecast your financial situations.

This workshop is for you who are a bit further than the initial idea phase.

Are you a student looking for a kick-ass internship or job? OR a startup looking for raw talent? Then you have to come to this event!

Your brand is your business.

It is the sum of all the impressions you leave: it is you, your product, customer service, communication, appearance etc.

In this workshop we will focus on your strengths and motivations and how they can be used strategically to grow your business. Being clear about your purpose, values and unique selling points is a powerful way to build meaningful communication that makes you stand out.

This is how you create invaluable PR – PR that money can't buy.

Looking for private investors? The goal of this workshop is to prepare you to confidently take the lead in the investment process.

What talents and competencies does your team already hold, and how can you make the most out of your team – your most important resource? How can your team be further strengthened? How do you build a culture that matches your ambition and values?

‍

This workshop aims to inspire your strategic thoughts about culture and your most valued equity - your Team.

‍

You will learn how to proactively develop a meaningful culture in which people thrive and perform well in an uncertain environment.

‍

Please notice that you will benefit the most from this workshop, if the full founder-team participates.

Most people think of patents as the only way to protect an idea. The truth is that trademark, copyright, design protection and trade secrets can also be used to protect a company’s assets.

‍

The workshop will introduce you to all the major protection strategies, including patents, and help you choose the right strategy for your startup.

You probably already have an idea about your personal strengths and weaknesses, what kind of person it is easy to collaborate with and who it can be a little more challenging to work with.

‍

But have you ever reflected on the reasons behind this – and how it might impact your entrepreneurial journey?

‍

In this workshop we apply a tool called JTI (Jungs Type Indicator) used for profiling personality types. Through 4 reflective and engaging exercises you will become more aware of your strong suits and how to utilise these even better, especially in the entrepreneurial processes.

‍

Find out how different personalities interact, how the diversity of profiles can complement each other and what areas you could benefit from developing further.

The best negotiations are not about give and take, but rather about creating a better deal for both parties. The workshop tunes in on how both you and your counterpart(s) can create win-win situations, and you will learn how you can take the lead in such negotiations processes.

‍

The goal of this workshop is to make you a more successful negotiator. This will help you get better deals and develop your business smoother and more efficiently.

Your brand is your business.

‍

It is the sum of all the impressions you leave: it is you, your product, customer service, communication, appearance etc. In other words; every startup has a brand. Does yours do you any good?

‍

In this workshop we will focus on your strengths and motivations and how they can be used strategically to grow your business. Being clear about your purpose, values and unique selling points is a powerful way to build meaningful communication that makes you stand out.

This is how you create invaluable PR – PR that money can't buy.
