"𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥." – Benjamin Franklin I truly believe that talking and doing are two entirely different worlds. Just because someone is skilled at giving advice doesn’t mean they’ve faced the reality of it. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. Even though I built my own retail business in my early 20s, consulted for multiple companies and startups, and have even lectured on entrepreneurship and innovation, this new path as a tech entrepreneur is an exciting, entirely fresh challenge for me. In the words of Epictetus, the Greek Stoic philosopher: "𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘺. 𝘌𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘪𝘵." This journey is about embodying the lessons, not just teaching them. I’m eager to dive into this experience and put theory into practice—because that’s where real growth happens. Thanks Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship gGmbH for having me!! #journalofentrepreneur #startup #entrepreneurship BalUP

Crossing the chasm for #MedTech #Startups Making a #startup successful is a hard job in any market but especially in MedTech with its #regulatory requirements. We see often that startups are super driven and creative to make their innovative ideas reality ... having great traction with #customers and #investors ... but then comes the tedious process of getting the regulatory documents filed with authorities, get a #supplychain and #production done that is regulatory savvy but flexible and #reliable at the same time. At aesco solutions we believe strongly that the #innovation speed of startups is required to bring MedTech to the next level and thus are committed to support them throughout the full value chain from early #consulting about #businessmodel development and #duediligence, #clinical and #regulatory requirements at seleon GmbH, through #development support to #ndustrialization, supply chain management and production at SASSE Elektronik GmbH . Today's startup summit in Stuttgart https://lnkd.in/gaZEjA-v is again a great opportunity to learn about great startup innovations and how we can support. Among others Fabiola Hartung-Linz and I will be there.

This is an impactful moment for the German startup scene: 📣 Minister Robert Habeck  and Anna Christmann announced the selected universities of the concept phase of the flagship #StartupFactories competition funded by Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action  as part of the #EXIST 25 year anniversary. From 26 applications, 15 ecosystem initiatives were chosen for the next round to establish a cross-university ecosystem with international reach and strong integration into regional and national ecosystems. This set the right tone for a mindset shift from broad support to promotion of excellence. 🎉 We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations (official applicant in brackets, in total more than 100 consortium partners involved): ZOHOfactory (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) Lighthouse Northwest (University of Bremen) GOe_FUTURE (The University of Göttingen) Startup Factory Saxony (Technische Universität Dresden) REACH Euroregio Start-up Factory (University of Münster) The BRIDGE (Universität des Saarlandes) Startup Factory OWL (Universität Paderborn - Paderborn University) NXTGN Startup Factory (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)) StartMiUp Factory (The Philipp University of Marburg) Startup_Factory_MV (Universität Rostock) StartupFactoryRUHR (TU Dortmund University) UNITE Berlin (Freie Universität Berlin) Startup Factory Hamburg (Universität Hamburg) Startup Factory Rhein-Main (Goethe University Frankfurt) Gateway FACTORY Startup (University of Cologne) Your remarkable ambitions are a testament to your innovation, dedication, and potential to revolutionize your respective industries.
