I think that if I had't studied at Leuphana in this program,
then I wouldn't be the founder of a start-up today.
The coolest thing about my job
is that I'm my own boss.
As a founder and entrepreneur,
the coolest thing is that you are holding all the reins.
I needed my studies.
I needed the networks.
And it's great that I can now work with
many expert staff.
The university supported me
also with the creation of my company.
We went to them
and laid out all of our ideas.
And thought:
Okay, we want to do it like this.
What are the possibilities?
If we didn't get that,
then we wouldn't have taken advantage of the opportunity,
and we definitely wouldn't be entrepreneurs
working here in Lüneburg today.
In 2012 there was a Start-Up Weekend in Lüneburg,
where the university also
placed mentors and other staff.
This business idea
that we are now pursuing,
is actually the result of the
encouragement that we received.
That is where I met my roommates.
I came to Leuphana because
I could establish myself here as an individual.
At the end of my master's,
I then started to establish my company.
It definitely helped me that
there are a few people here
that have done it themselves,
and are still accessible here at the university.
There are
various networking events at Leuphana,
where you can exchange ideas with other entrepreneurs.
We work well together with the entrepreneurship hub,
and we exchange ideas,
tell them our new ideas,
and even work with together with other start-ups.
Even without the courses that I took,
I would have founded my company.
But it probably would have been less
successful, or it would have taken longer.
With start-ups, I think it's important to understand
that you
only in the rarest case do everything alone.
Otherwise, you do it in a team.
That means, you need to be able to work in a team
It should also be fun for you to work with other people.
