MUNICH
Become part of Germany's leading student-run entrepreneurship initiative. At START Munich, you'll gain hands-on experience, connect with top-tier founders and investors, and build with one of Munich's most ambitious student communities.
What Makes START Unique
START Munich is more than a student initiative, it's a launchpad for future entrepreneurs. Here's why you should be part of it:
Values Over Grades
No one here cares about your GPA. What matters is the courage to share an idea and the drive to make it real. That's how programmers end up brainstorming with psychologists, and musicians sketch out business models. Different worlds, same fire.
No Playbook
The Bay Area trip, START Labs, the Hacking Legal hackathon were never assigned. They started as ideas someone cared enough to make real. No hierarchy. No bureaucracy. Just people taking the leap of faith and building things that matter.
Failure Celebrated
At events like Founder Fail Tales, screw-ups don't get buried. We hand failures the mic, laugh at them together, and learn out loud. Because if you never fail, you never dared to build.
A Living Global Network
START doesn't end when you leave Munich. It stays with you through new ventures, new cities, new chapters. You'll find co-founders, investors, and friends across the world. It's more than a network. It's a family you keep building with.
Jumpstart Into Entrepreneurship
At START, your first step is the Sprint. In just 30 days, you turn a raw idea into an MVP and pitch it to a jury. After that, you dive into the departments, the heart of START, where you keep building, drive projects, and shape the community. Some go on to launch startups, everyone learns by doing.
