No slides, no theory — a real entrepreneur tells the story of how it all began. What was the trigger? What made the difference between ‘thinking about it’ and ‘just doing it’? An honest conversation about the very first phase.

What will you take away from this?

  • Starting a business isn’t a myth or magic — it’s real people with real stories who do it
  • A first glimpse of what the early stages really look like
  • Motivation to take your own first step

Agenda

  • Founder shares their personal journey (focus: the beginning)
  • What tipped the scales?
  • Biggest surprise in the first year
  • Interactive Q&A — no lecture, just a real conversation
  • Reflection: “What would be YOUR reason for starting?”

Contact

  • Christian Borck, M.A.
  • Maria Luisa Kirschstein
