What does the neudeli Fellowship offer me?
The neudeli Fellowship provides you with a framework of different event formats that help you to develop your idea in a structured way. Within six months, you will attend mandatory workshops, our so-called startup workshops. These are supplemented by community events and individual coaching sessions:
| Startup Workshop: | In our startup workshops you will learn exciting methods and tools that will lead you from your idea to a successful innovation in the market. These include design thinking, brand building, user research and business modeling. You can acquire more in-depth knowledge on startup-related topics in advanced neudeli workshops. |
| Individual coaching sessions: | In personal one-on-one sessions, you work together with the neudeli coaches on your project-specific challenges and receive constructive feedback to develop your project step by step. |
| Community: | At neudeli community meetings you have the opportunity to exchange ideas with other founders and supporters, make new contacts in a relaxed atmosphere and strengthen your network. |
| Peer-Group Learning: | Our peer group learning format gives you the opportunity to exchange ideas on specific topics with other neudeli fellows in the Startup Programme. The aim is to reflect on your own start-up personality in accompanying learning tandems, share experiences and discover potential for further development. |
