Supporting Membership for Sole Proprietors
Supporting Membership for Sole Proprietors
Gründerstammtische, Dorfschule, Masterclasses, Uplevel-mentoring and SDDs are always best opportunities where experts exchange ideas on startup & innovation.
StartupDorf allows individual supporters with different interests an exciting space for action.
“Startups need advice and support from people who understand the unique challenges of fast-growing companies in tech. Startup entrepreneurs are selective in their choice and therefore seek expertise and recommendations in their networks. The very big consultancies and law firms are not always mentioned as references. This also applies to the referral of diverse expert knowledge. Expensive workshops and seminars are for the most part not feasible for startups, so with us, experts from our supporting members share their know-how in the Dorfschule and thus come into contact with founders. This way our network can be used professionally and leaves a lot of room for individuality.“
