Workshop: The perfect start-up team: The key to success!

Aim of the workshop

Basic research is an essential and important source of innovation in the fields of life sciences and natural sciences. However, advancing your technology and potential product idea in a viable start-up toward market readiness requires a number of skills that have played a subordinate role at most in your scientific and technical training and academic research to date.

How and when can, should, or must you bring the appropriate skills into your team? Which skills can and should scientific founders acquire themselves, and which are better left to proven experts? How do you recruit internal or external team members? Which other target groups need to be convinced?

You will explore the answers to these and other questions together with experts in this informative and practice-oriented workshop.

Moderators

As an independent management consultant, Dr. Birgit Anderegg primarily supports and develops entrepreneurs and start-ups, helping them to supplement their often highly scientific mindset with strategic and/or management-related aspects and perspectives. Her comprehensive portfolio of expertise includes knowledge of patent and contract law, strategic business planning and financing, and economics.

Ursula Oestreich works as an independent consultant and agile coach with executives, project managers, and project teams from companies of various sizes, incorporating elements from different agile approaches. She uses adapted (canvas) models (e.g., Business Model Canvas and Value Proposition Canvas) and selected techniques from other methodological areas such as “Lean” and “Kanban.”
