Be your own boss

Do you occasionally consider whether “being your own boss” would be a feasible model for you? Then you’ve come to the right place! We invite you to find out just that.

The event will start with an interactive workshop on whether self-employment or freelancing can be an option for one’s career. In addition, we jointly explore the question of whether a concrete business idea can be derived from personal passion or research work and whether this has the potential for a start-up.

The subsequent panel discussion with experienced female founders and investors will provide an opportunity to gain insights into entrepreneurial practice.

Last but not least, the first valuable contacts can be made during the social get-together and fellow campaigners can be found for one’s own idea.

Workshop trainers: Nils Neumann and Tatjana Timoschenko (Startup Port)

Panel discussion with experienced female founders and investors Dr. Jasmina Crčić (Founder Minatorba GmbH and speaker at the University of Hamburg), Dr. Sandra Mühmel (Product Developer and Managing Director Devia Naturkosmetik), Heidrun Twesten (founder of Impacct GmbH, coach and business angel) und Dr. Ekaterina Zapolnova (Founder Startup 5pectre Optixx and scientist at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY))
