Join us for a founder-friendly workshop designed to demystify public funding for tech startups in Berlin, Germany, and across Europe. “Public Funding 101 for Tech Startups” equips you with practical knowledge to navigate the funding landscape with confidence.
You’ll learn how funding applications really work — from understanding key evaluation criteria to crafting a compelling narrative, building a realistic budget, and avoiding common pitfalls. We’ll also walk you through the full grant cycle and reporting process, so you know exactly what to expect after securing funding — including how to stay audit-ready and manage the operational workload effectively.
For tech founders, a solid understanding of public funding can be a game-changer. This session will help you assess whether public funding aligns with your growth strategy and how to maximize your chances of success. Our goal is to give you a clear, realistic perspective on both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with tapping into public funding.
Whether you’re just starting out or exploring new financing options, this engaging breakout session will empower you to make informed decisions and take your startup to the next level. Let’s navigate the world of public funding together and unlock new potential for your tech venture. 🚀
Why is it that we cannot predict the technological future? Is the destruction of the old truly an inevitable companion to the birth of the new? Are our reservations about new technologies justified? How will artificial intelligence reshape economic competition among nations? Can the state have any meaningful active role in innovation at all? Why has Europe fallen behind in the innovation race? And why does an invisible iron curtain still exist, one that keeps Central and Eastern Europe from competing with new startups in the global innovation arena? What can we learn from the successes of Silicon Valley, Estonia, Israel, or Singapore?
A practical workshop that teaches first-time founders how venture capital fundraising really works, from VC expectations and readiness checks to investor outreach, pitching, and closing a round. It also analyzes the recurring patterns and behaviors of successful founders and how they structure the process, signals, and momentum to secure capital.

I support small and mid-size innovative teams in achieving their goals by establishing efficient operational processes, developing effective fundraising strategies, and managing projects from inception to completion. With a strong background in strategic process development, financial management, and stakeholder engagement, I am dedicated to driving success and fostering collaboration within dynamic environments.
