Experiences of start-ups with our start-up consulting

“The CET's start-up consultancy provided us with a place on the jury for the NRW start-up grant at short notice and actively helped us with great feedback and experience in creating and improving our pitch. This enabled us to present our start-up idea in a well-prepared manner and successfully secure a funding recommendation.”

“The CET supported me very well with my application for the NRW start-up grant. We optimized the idea paper for the application together and I was able to rehearse my pitch on site, so that I was very well prepared overall.”

“Through the CET's programs, we were able to test and validate our idea and develop many skills that will help us with our start-up. The CET offers many opportunities to network and constantly learn new things through programs, workshops and events. We particularly liked the PREINC program, as we were able to learn a lot through this program and further develop our start-up. The coaches put in a lot of effort and provided valuable input!”
