The guided Startup Safari
Spend a day visiting three to five selected startups. Talk directly with founders and see how their teams work.
Together, you make sense of which observations matter for your next steps.
What are your customers asking for? Which new business models could affect your market? Based on that, we choose relevant startups and practitioners and prepare your team for the conversations.
You hear how teams develop new offers and ways of working. You can ask what works in practice and which questions may apply to your business.
Since 2011, we have brought companies into contact with startups. That has included visits with DAX executives to founders working in backstreet lofts.
Your question, who will take part, what your team hopes to take away, and the scope of the programme.
Tours, workshops and dinners can stand alone or be combined where useful.
Founders and practitioners can explain the decisions behind new offers, what works in practice and where questions remain.
An example from a startup does not automatically fit your business. The conversation helps your team question assumptions and see its own options more clearly.
“Instead of reading about algorithms, we spoke to the 22-year-olds writing them. Suddenly the fear was gone. All that was left was curiosity.”
Insight starts with a conversation.
Every industry has its own pace. We take your team to the people and places shaping its future.
