POV: You're a start-up founder and have 30 minutes to convince the XPRENEURS team of your team's potential 🧐

Once all applications are in, we don't let founders wait long. In an intense pitching week, we invite the 45 most promising teams for a 4-minute in-person pitch plus Q&A to the Munich Urban Colab. Only 20 start-ups will be selected to join our program!

These 5 days are both some of the most exciting and most challenging days for the team. So many decisions: Who shows the most potential to become the next high-tech star? Who will benefit most from our program and the UnternehmerTUM ecosystem? Who needs a bit more time to prepare the basics, or is already too advanced?

Fortunately, we have some of our best mentors volunteering as jury members, such as Ferdie Bruijnen, Bernd Hetterscheidt, Dirk Zechiel, Tom Lapperger, Carol Cueva Camacho, Dominik Kaiser, Ines Pfeil, Markus Pratschke, Robert Neuhauser and Ralph Meyer. 💜

And we can count on our partners from UnternehmerTUM Funding for Innovators (Paolo Oppelt and Mauricio Fleischer Acuña) 🧡 as well as the TUM Venture Labs: Florian Doetzer (Aerospace), Antoine Leboyer and Bastian Burger (Software/AI), Sonja Stange (Robotics), Nic Knapp (Mobility), Dr. Sabine Klein and Felicitas Eidenschink (Healthcare), Alexander Laprell, Charlotte Falk and Stefan Blenk (LegalTech), Christopher Trummer (Quantum), Sascha Schwarz (Additive Manufacturing) and Lars Eiermann, Roman Werner and Sarah Jessl, PhD (Sustainability); and last but not least Léonie Trick from Vector Stiftung 💙

Thank you all for your support!

Until now, we've already seen a lot of potential stars in many different fields. It's going to be a tough debate during selection day 😎
