Startup Olympics Vol. 10 – Your startup in one weekend
Date: 25.04.25 15:00 – 27.04.25 17:00
Place: Mathildenhof Essen Mathildenstraße 15A 45130 Essen Germany
At the Startup Olympics, you immerse yourself in the world of makers. Hundreds of people who want to immerse themselves in the startup world meet there. Some bring their own startup ideas, while others prefer to contribute to the ideas of others. You decide for yourself what you want to do. First, the ideas are presented in 1-minute pitches. You decide what you like and what you don’t like. The most popular ideas are implemented and we form teams. Then it starts: you now have a team – now what? Are you the team leader, do you take on a specific task or do you provide the energy to keep everyone moving forward? One thing is certain: different skills come together and now you have a weekend to go full throttle. Anyone can take part. You don’t need any previous experience. We have invited over 10 mentors with completely different skills. Sebastian Deutsch from 9elements, social media nerd Ben Küstner (founder of Pottsalat) and marketing professional Nora Breuker have already taken part: they and many others will be there to give you the best tips for implementation. You and your team will then build a prototype, set up a website and collect your first registrations – or you can go straight to the market and realize your first 10,000 euros. We don’t set you any limits. At the end, you present the results to a jury and secure your gold medal. Now all that remains is the question: Do you have time from April 25, 5 p.m. to April 27, 7 p.m.? Then the startup event of the year is waiting for you. If you want to take part, get your early bird ticket now for 29 euros at startupolympics.de. The event is being organized in cooperation with Wirtschaftsförderung Essen, FvckUp Night Ruhrgebiet and the University of Duisburg-Essen.
