Get ready for an exhilarating and transformative experience at the Startup Founder Forum, where we unite 10 exceptional founders to share their inspiring journeys, game-changing strategies, and valuable insights on building and scaling a successful startup. This exclusive event is presented by the Founder Institute Nuremberg, the German chapter of the world’s premier pre-seed startup accelerator, with the mission of showcasing the German startup ecosystem, our distinguished speakers’ success and the impact they made in the European market.
The event will be structured into 3 dynamic segments designed to captivate, educate, and empower our attendees.
