The positive effect of STEP

STEP creates self-confidence: STEP participants exhibit higher entrepreneurial self-efficacy after training and in the long term than members of a comparable control group.

STEP helps develop ideas: Participants in the training identify more business ideas than control group members.

STEP promotes the creation of businesses: One year after training, STEP participants start 33% more companies than a comparable control group.

The unique selling points of STEP:

  • Action Principals are the core of each session. Following those rules of thumb raises the likelihood of being a successful entrepreneur.

  • The training has been successfully conducted with over 10,000 people on three continents and evaluated according to the highest scientific standards.

When does it take place, and how can I participate?

The condensed STEP Sustainable compact program consists of six training days. These take place weekly on Thursdays from 15:30 to 18:00 in presence at various locations in Hamburg and the surrounding area.

The course language is German.

Between the live sessions, the start-up projects are developed independently within the teams in work phases.

A final pitch takes place at the end of the training.

The program requires a considerable amount of time. Depending on the start-up project, the program will involve 5 to 10 hours of work per week (in addition to the 6 training days).
