Start-up School Student Teams Pitch New Venture Ideas to Entrepreneurs and Angel Investors

One word. WOW. After 14 grueling weeks, Master’s students from our master’s course, “From Idea to Commercialization: Start-up School,” pitched their original, new venture ideas and business plans to a jury of entrepreneurs, angel investors and investment specialists. On display was the talent, creativity, and sheer hard work of these budding entrepreneurs and innovators from this diverse and energetic class. Student teams worked from scratch – to conceptualize innovative and viable ideas for their new ventures, conduct extensive research including concept tests and prototype tests, and develop concrete business plans – as part of this New Venture Challenge in the course.

This experiential learning course was co-taught by Professor Shashi Matta, and WFI Alumnus Fabian Foelsch - CEO of Braineffect, and supported by our chair member, Dr. Meysam Moayery. Our gratitude to the stellar jury that featured WFI alumni - Rene Biller - Principal at Circuit Partners, Benjamin Fudali - Investment Manager at Crosslantic Capital, Marius Keller - Senior Investment Manager at Franz Haniel, Marc Laubenheimer - Management Board Member and CEO of Engel & Völkers Digital Invest, Andreas Schneider - Managing Director & Co-Founder of Vimcar, and Dr. Philipp Veit - Founder & Co-Head of fintogether.

A big shout out to our students for their incredible business pitches, and we hope to see these ideas turned into successful ventures!
