Lean Startup Sprint
Starting a company is messy — especially at the beginning, when the path is unclear. If you're right at the start, this program is for you.
The Onsite Lean Startup Sprint is a two-week program in which you develop your startup idea into a proof-of-concept and grow your entrepreneurial mindset. You build a prototype, validate your ideas and draft your sustainable business model — with a startup coach and expert feedback.
The sprint and all formats are conducted in English.
After completing it, you can apply for our Startup Now program — with a collaborative workspace and access to numerous workshops and events.
Details
Develop your startup idea into a proof-of-concept. In two weeks, we help you build a prototype, collect evidence and draft your business model.
This sprint is for all new startups, regardless of development stage. Get to know Startup Incubator Berlin — and we'll get to know you.
What if I don't have a prototype or product yet?
Perfect! We help you turn your startup idea into a prototype.
What if I don't have any first customers yet?
No problem. We help you identify them and build an „MVP".
What if I'm currently on my own?
Founding a startup works better as a team. Maybe you will find a co-founder in these two weeks.
