After a successful application, you will become part of one of our six departments, contribute around 7 hours per week to START, gain valuable experience, and develop new skills in a dynamic and supportive environment.
What better way to learn about entrepreneurship than from successful and active founders. We meet with inspiring entrepreneurs and have an open chat about the personal journey of a founder.
The world of VC’s can seem like a black box. Instead of guessing what investors are looking for, we ask them directly in our VC visits. Learn how to pitch your own ideas to receive the needed funding. You would be surprised how keen they are to share a secret tip or two.
We hope you’re hungry for knowledge. We find the experts of various fields and learn from them in interactive and hands on workshops. The topics cover pitching, ideation, scaling, recruiting, and selling — everything you need to master to thrive as a successful founder.
Ready to apply your new skills? At START Vienna you will find a safe space to tackle any crazy project you think of. Be it within our departments or a personal side project you want to bring into reality.
Your background is in biology? Fantastic. Mathematics? Awesome. IT? Impressive. At START, we embrace students from all disciplines, because it’s the power of interdisciplinary collaboration that drives startup success.
Our annual pitching competition that brings the most innovative early stage startups on one stage. They pitch for a monetary prize and a chance to pitch in front of 6000+ people at the entrepreneurship conference START Summit.
