What is foundersXchange?
Sharing experiences and building a strong network are essential for the success of a start-up. That is why we offer all founders and those interested in starting a business the opportunity to meet up with like-minded people on a regular basis, make valuable contacts in a relaxed atmosphere, and attend inspiring talks.
FoundersXChange is organised jointly by HIGHEST, ATHENE Digital Hub Cybersecurity, hessian.AI, HUB31, cesah and YUBIZZ , the start-up initiative by h_da. An expert will give a keynote talk to introduce the topic that will be the focus of the evening’s event. Afterwards, a founder or a start-up team will share their experiences in this field and give us an insight into the business and day-to-day life of the start-up.
During the open mic session that follows, you’ll have the chance to talk about the challenges you’re currently facing, ask questions, or present your (start-up) ideas to the audience and receive direct, peer-to-peer feedback. There will also be plenty of time for discussion and networking.
