Startup-Impuls offers you comprehensive support services that go beyond the competition.
Startup-Impuls Coaching:
After registering for the competition, a Startup-Impuls coach will be available to you for two hours of consulting, free of charge. These sessions are designed to help you refine your business idea and your pitch deck. Use the time until December 15, 2025, to book a coaching session. Please remember to schedule an appointment in a timely manner, as the coaches are often fully booked. You can find suitable coaches in the overview located in the participant area of the application tool after registration. Appointments can be scheduled via gruendung@hannoverimpuls.de. If a coach is not available during your desired time frame, please contact us to arrange a change.
