What if founders didn’t have to fail?
Every year, Germany loses billions in investments, subsidies and talent due to failed startups. Yet, the failure is rarely down to the founders themselves or inherently poor ideas. The real issue is the lack of systematic, structured use of entrepreneurial experience.
The facts are clear:
- Mentoring triples the likelihood of securing funding.
- Early due diligence significantly reduces the error rate.
- Post-mortem analyses reveal that 42% of startups fail due to lack of market demand – a risk that could be avoided.
The biggest lever for success?
- Evidence-based support from the very beginning of the startup journey.
