We are happy to announce our first GAUSS Career Impulse Session in 2021 co-hosted by the university’s start-up support “How to launch your own business?” with Dr. Ulrich Vetter (Nagl & Vetter GmbH) and Martin Stammann (start-up support, Göttingen University)
To start a successful career as entrepreneur is often thought to be closely linked with a sound business idea and a well working business model. However, when talking to venture capitalists it becomes obvious, that the personality of the founder, its team and its feeling for an appropriate timing is often much more relevant. Therefore, this impulse session sheds a spotlight on the personality of successful founders. During the last years in the realm of Göttingen University several successful start-ups were created involving scientists, alumni, and students of our university.
- Date: 22 January 2021
