Interview with the SocialPizza-Team from DieTechniker

SOCIALPIZZA – We make social insurance snackable for you.

An interview with the SocialPizza team of technicians: Tobias Kurz, Mirjam Böttle, Selina De Lisi, Milos Borjanovic.

What does pizza have to do with health insurance?

Startups and pizza simply belong together. Pitching an idea over a pizza together – sure! So why not health insurance too? Our aim is to make social insurance palatable for start-ups in a straightforward and straightforward way. In our experience, many founders and startups are primarily concerned with the idea and design of their business model. Social security is often the last item on the to-do list and sometimes falls to the back of the list. However, it also plays an important role! This is where we from the SocialPizza team at Techniker Krankenkasse come into play. It’s easy to get lost in the social insurance jungle, and we can help you find your way around.

How does it work?

Obtaining information yourself takes time and help from third parties is usually expensive. That’s why we provide you with our specialist know-how and support you from the planning to the growth phase of your start-up. On our homepage you will find easy-to-understand articles on the topic of start-ups and we will be happy to answer your individual questions over the phone. Simply book a free consultation appointment on our website.

What are the phases of a startup and how can you provide support?

You start in the planning phase. What legal form should your company take? Keyword: foundation of a UG or GmbH. Are you self-employed or not and what about bringing in investors? It’s better to ask too many questions, because the wrong step can be expensive! Your product is largely finished and now everything is being prepared for the market launch. You are now in the start-up phase. It’s getting too much on your own – you need support! And so you become an employer for the first time. What do you need to know now? How does social security work? And how do the health insurance companies find out that someone is now working for you? Let’s move on to the set-up phase. Your processes and company structures will become more and more professional. Is it worth hiring working students and if so, why? The topic of workation is also gaining momentum. Questions upon questions and no end in sight! We have the answers. Your team is growing and more employees are being hired. Congratulations! You’ve reached the growth phase. What do you need to consider when employees come from abroad? Are there any differences that need to be taken into account? For the rest of the workforce, it’s all about promoting health. But do health and start-ups even go together? Of course it does! We’ll show you how.

Thank you very much for the insightful interview. Finally, is there anything else you would like to pass on to our readers?

We would like to encourage you to pursue your ideas and seek the support you need. The path to a successful start-up can be challenging, but with the right partners at your side, many things are possible. SocialPizza is here to guide and support you along the way – now also with webinars.
