Do you have a business idea in mind and are looking for a place to share it, develop it and get it pitch-ready?

Do you feel entrepreneurial blood in your veins, but still need the necessary tools to get started?

Are you looking for a community of like-minded people to regularly exchange ideas and reflect on them?

Then the Gründungsfabrik Rheingau is looking forward to your participation in the Founder Workshop 2025.

“From idea to pitch” is the motto of FOUNDER WORKSHOP, which starts on October 10 and consists of several modules designed to prepare founders for discussions with potential investors, partners and customers.

The road to starting your own business can be stony. In any case, a good idea and the right attitude are only the beginning, and there are various hurdles to overcome before you get your first customer. Anyone who wants to start a business should get as much support as possible beforehand and take advantage of offers that help them avoid potential mistakes and prepare for all kinds of professionally successful discussions.

Gründungsfabrik Rheingau is offering an opportunity to all founders from the region and the two universities – EBS University and Geisenheim University – this October. In three modules, each lasting three days, the most important aspects of starting a business will be explored in intensive workshops based on the participants‘ own ideas. At the end, participants will be able to clearly formulate their mission and goals. They will have a precise idea of the magic behind their figures and how to use them to convince potential partners to invest, grant a loan, enter into a partnership, or collaborate. They will be ready for the “pitch.”

Using various agile, creative, and team-building methods, Alexandra Wagner-Thind – a business coach with over 25 years of experience in advising founders – not only imparts important know-how, but above all the joy of letting your own idea take flight.

In three modules, we will accompany you from the idea to the pitch, network you with other founders and provide you with valuable insights on founding.

The dates at a glance:
Module 1: October 9 – 11, 2025
Module 2: October 23 – 25, 2025
