Coaching & Consulting

Coaching & consulting are a core component of our work, in which we always meet the founders where they are at the moment.

Participants in our programs (Incubator, Accelerator or EXIST-Women) benefit from this in particular, as they are assigned their own coach who provides them with intensive support.

Your path to coaching & consulting

Initial consultation

Make an appointment with us for a non-binding initial consultation. Here we will talk about your idea, provide you with important information and look at how your start-up journey can continue.

Program participation

If your idea has potential, you can apply for one of our programs (Incubator, Accelerator or EXIST Women program) and receive extensive support.

Coaching & Consulting

As a program participant, you will be assigned your own coach who will provide you with intensive support.

However, founders who are not part of a program also have the opportunity to take advantage of our services.

Our approach

In order to achieve the greatest possible impact for founders, we accompany everyone individually and provide support exactly where it is needed.

Together, we work out where someone currently stands and what they need in order to take the next steps. Our support does not end with coaching and advice, but also includes contact mediation, the provision of infrastructure and external visibility for the start-up project.
