StartupLab

• Aug 2020 - Aug 2020

As an active participant in the first StartupLab of the heiINNOVATION Team I went through the whole process of developing an innovative idea in the field of social entrepreneurship into a complete and sustainable business model that was pitched to an interdisciplinary jury after only 4 weeks.Specifically, I worked in a team with two neuroscientists and one sociologist to raise awareness for the stigmatization of mental health issues while at the same time striving for an App that will provide a supportive community as well as interview podcasts with experts and peers. The future goal of this startup idea called FilterLess is to encourage people suffering from mental health issues but also young adults who want to support their friends in need to connect personally through regular and freely-guided meetings.During the Startup Lab I participated in courses covering the following:- Pitch Training with Colin Bennett- Legal Advice Training on "How to found a Startup in Germany"- Sales workshop with Alistair Altken- Viedeo courses on Lean Startup Methodology, Design Thinking, Marketing Mix, Revenue Model, Prizing Strategies, Business Model Canvas Show less

FameLab is the world’s leading science communication competition. FameLab is designed to engage and entertain by breaking down science, technology and engineering concepts into three minutes presentations. I decided to participate in this format because I genuinely believe in their vision to use effective science communication as a way to alter stereotypes, create excitement and interest, and ultimately justify public funding for scientific research. For my talk on cell communications , I was awarded the 2nd place in the regional hub of Baden-Würrtemberg, Hessen and Rheinland Pfalz and participated in the German Finals with only 8 other contestants from all over Germany.
