Recently I had the pleasure to be invited back to RWTH Aachen University and its Materials Lab incubator to prepp the participating teams, insuring they have as much as a winning pitch they could possibly have for the big next funding grant decision!
Looking for pitch training as a startup or a student in a support program like and incubator, accelerator, entrepreneurship curriculum, or for your teams in your company or organisation, or help with prepping and quality insurance for your startup pitching event or competition?
We’re back after the summer break! Recently the 129th Rheinland Pitch – Germany’s largest startup pitching event – kicked off the next season in Cologne.
Recently I had the pleasure to once again hold a couple of startup entrepreneurship workshops for select alumni of DAAD and the Humboldt community!
Above, ChatGPT re-interprets the Zoom workshop. ;)
On Zoom / remote to an eclectic and international group of over 40 academics, I held one workshop on evidence-driven problem discovery and using AI in that process. A second on Customer Discovery & assumption testing, including how we can test our critical assumptions behind our ideas for a business using validation experiments and tests – and also how to use AI to build validation experiments and MVPs.
