Start-ups & Support
Do you have a brilliant business idea and want to start your own business? Are you already working as a freelancer whilst studying, or would you like to develop a project that originated in a lecture?
At the HdM Startup Centre, you’ll receive the personalised advice and intensive support you need to succeed. It makes no difference to us whether you’re launching a creative agency or planning a complex high-tech start-up. We’re your sparring partner on equal terms and can advise you on general topics, funding schemes and financing, or support through our accelerator programmes.
Find the right counselling service
Self-employment alongside your studies
Are you still wondering whether self-employment is right for you? Once a term, we’ll give you a concise overview of the key basics (taxes, registration, time management) via Zoom. Afterwards, we’ll answer your quick, individual questions directly in the chat.
Start-up Advice Consultation Day
Do you have specific questions, or would you simply like to hear an expert’s opinion on your idea? Every other Friday, you can book a 20-minute slot with our coaches. Perfect for a quick reality check!
Intensive counselling
Some issues can’t be resolved in 20 minutes. When it comes to complex funding applications (such as the EXIST start-up grant), a detailed validation of your business idea, or a dissertation focusing on entrepreneurship, we’ll set aside a full hour for you.
Not sure what you need?
No problem! Just come along to the next consultation day. Together, we’ll work out where you’re at and which path is best for you and your idea.
Consultations are free of charge for students, graduates and staff at HdM Stuttgart. If you’re unsure what’s right for you, just come along to the consultation day and we’ll decide together which is the best path for you.
