By your participation in our acceleration program, you’ll become part of your local startup scene and get access to our worldwide network of founders, investors, and other startup enthusiasts – a network for a lifetime. Of course, there’s a lot of fun and free catering for all days as well.

IS STARTUP LIVE RIGHT FOR YOU? YES! If you are…

… an ENTREPRENEUR with a first business idea, looking for co-founders or expert feedback
… a STARTUP, looking for expert feedback or aiming for publicity & investors contacts
… a TALENT, skilled in a specific field (Biz, Marketing, Design, IT etc) interested in joining and supporting an idea (at least for the weekend)
… an ENTHUSIAST, interested in the startup scene, focusing on getting in contact with like-minded people, mentors & experts
… a STUDENT, interested in Entrepreneurship and aiming to gain some hands-on experience
… a CORPORATE employee, willing to explore the startup world
… actually CLUELESS, but Startup Live sounds just too tempting and you want to be part!
