- Business model: The focus of this workshop is to work out with the participants what potential business models are for them and how they can test them as quickly and "leanly" as possible. Keywords: customer benefits, critical assumptions, planning customer interviews and prototype tests.
- Storytelling: The workshop is all about arousing emotions! With your support, the participants in the "Storytelling" workshop will work out how they can communicate their business ideas in such a way that they arouse enthusiasm in their counterparts and are remembered.
- Marketing and branding: In the workshop, we look at how and what the entrepreneurs want to communicate to whom in order to make their business ideas visible and accessible to their target groups. Together with you, as buddies, the participants will develop initial drafts for communication tools and measures.

In addition to living costs and operating costs, possible income and sources of financing are discussed and recorded with the help of examples and templates.
- Pitch training: In this workshop, the aim is to bring to the point, with your support, what the entrepreneurs have developed and learned up to this point. In the pitch workshop, you will work together with the participants on presenting and communicating the story & vision of their business idea.
- Presentation & slide design: In the workshop, we will look at how entrepreneurs can back up their pitch ideas with slides that are as meaningful as possible.
