START UPeritivo in July brings together innovative minds to share ideas, gain knowledge, and form teams. 💡 
Our after-work event kicks off with short impulse talks on prototyping (Tools & tips for rapid MVP development), growth marketing (First steps to acquiring users), and patents (What you should know early on). 
Afterwards, an open mic session invites you to pitch your own ideas or find co-founders.

Following the motto “Mix it yourself”, your ingredients – idea, team, knowledge – might just become the next MVP. Maybe you'll even mix your own drinks at the end? We'll see! 🤗 In any case, after the open mic session, the evening will wind down with pizza 🍕, drinks 🧊 and casual networking taking center stage. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

This START UPeritivo also follows the final pitches of the Student Innovation Lab and the course Innovation & Entrepreneurship Basics. If you’d like to come earlier and hear which business ideas emerged from the two courses and what insights the teams gained from the program, feel free to drop by from 3 PM onwards!
