Where: Academia Corner, joint stand of GRÜNDUNGSZEIT & CEDUS, Areal Böhler Gelsenkirchen
Format: Short pitches + moderated speed matching
First register via the official Website. We will ask you a few questions to get to know you (and your idea) better.
We look at all applicants and match you based on your registration.
We are all meeting for the first time at the Future Tech Fest. We will prepare discussion tandems for you and you will also have the chance to talk to the others spontaneously.
After the first meeting, we will support you in three further phases so that you can better assess whether you can work well together and have the same vision.
Workshop
Before the Co-Founder Match, there will be a free workshop to help you prepare for the event and the search for a co-founder in general. We will publish the date of the workshop, the specific date and the host here. When you register for the event, you will of course be informed in good time!
Who are the organisers?
The Co-Foundermatch is organised by the University of Gelsenkirchen, Gelsenkirchen University of Applied Sciences and digihub Gelsenkirchen Rheinland. We are also supported by numerous other universities from NRW.
