StartupDorf organizes events in four strategic work areas of the association, which are also oriented to the different phases of the development of a startup (stages). From the ideating phase, the concepting phase, the founding and validation phase, the growth phase (scaling), to the established company and the possible exit scenarios. Within these phases and our focus areas, StartupDorf has built a portfolio of event formats and programs over the years, as well as completed several events with collaborative partners.

For you as a supporting member there are many ways in which you can get involved on top of your membership. You can choose from a full plate of tailored sponsorship packages across our four strategic workstreams that accelerate collaboration with startups.

Over the years, in addition to our approximately 130 corporate members, more than 5,000 attendees and over 170 speakers have participated in our events.
