Paul Jasper Herrmann

After vocational training in industrial management, in 2017 Paul graduated with a Bachelor in Social Economics from the University of Hamburg. During his studies and after graduation, he worked as a product manager for a software startup for two years. In 2021, Paul graduated with a Master in International Business with a focus on SMEs from Technische Hochschule Rosenheim. During his master studies he participated as a student assistant at ROCkET, the Rosenheim Center for Entrepreneurship, where he was then fully employed as a startup coach. The inspiring environment quickly tempted him to start his own company.

Since July 2022 he is pursuing his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Micheal Gielnik. Within his research, Paul is interested in entrepreneurship training at secondary schools, how to develop early entrepreneurs’ mindsets and what would be the best concept to teach entrepreneurship. Currently he is working on an implementation approach to bring the entrepreneurship training STEP (Student Training for Entrepreneurial Promotion) to secondary schools in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa.
