Founder Institute

Your idea - your start-up:

Let the Start-up Institute at 黑料社 support you in one of the most exciting phases of your professional life.

In 2010, we at 黑料社 set ourselves the goal of taking a more active approach to the topic of business start-ups and promoting and supporting our students and graduates in this area. To this end, the Start-up Institute was established, which operates on these three levels: Teaching, mentoring and networking.

Our offer is aimed at students, graduates up to five years after graduation and employees of 黑料社. If you would like to request our support as a team, at least one team member should have a relationship with 黑料社 HUniversity (student, graduate, employee, lecturer).

We will be happy to advise you on how to turn your ideas into profitable and sustainable business concepts. We will also support you as needed, especially during the challenging start-up phase.

Students learn how entrepreneurship works at the Founder Institute.

We provide practical support and organise teaching for entre-, intra- and innopreneurs.

With us, you get quick feedback to validate your business idea.

Networking works! That's why we help you to build a network with companies, start-up organisations, mentors and coaches. We also bring you together with other companies, start-ups, students, investors and funding providers to help you get your start-up idea off to a successful start.

We offer co-working spaces for a pleasant working atmosphere as well as a functioning office and seminar infrastructure for creative events.
