”Inspiring Startups”• Why?– Very few student entrepreneurs– Cross-faculty collaboration non-existent– Entrepreneurship image needs to improve– Resorces yes, but….. Not so easy to find the right
information.

Startup? Why ?!?
• Follow your dreams, learn, practice, you can change the world!
• Start as a student:– Spare time– Low costs of living– Minimal commitments – No-one cares if you fail– Put knowledge in practice

University
“Education and intelligence accomplish nothing without action.”
• Place for innovation, right?• You’ll probably make a research for your thesis– Why not start before? – What problems companies have?– What problems do you think they have?
