Framework
Target group
All members of Heidelberg University can take advantage of our consulting services – no matter whether you are a student or professor.
First session
In the first session, we talk about some fundamental questions: What is your project about? What’s your status quo? What are your objectives and challenges?
Status quo of your idea
No matter if your idea is just an idea at this point or if you already have a complete business model, everybody is welcome.
Online- and offline services
We offer on- and offline consultations. Usually, appointments last about an hour.
EARLY STAGE CONSULTING
When your objective has been defined, we can work together on the implementation process. To accomplish this, we offer a structured consulting process (early stage consulting) that will lead you to a solution as quickly as possible. We cannot provide legal advice as part of the start-up consultation.
