Are you a PhD or postdoc and would like to test out what it mean for you to be an entrepreneur?
Then join the Venture Creation summer school in Vienna this year!
The summer school “Venture Creation” from the InCUbator is open for applications.
In this 5-day intensive programme, participants learn by doing. You will form teams, generate and shape ideas using creativity techniques, validate customer problems and solutions through discovery work, build and iterate business models, and practice storytelling and fundraising. Each day builds toward a final Demo Day, where teams deliver an investor style pitch under realistic conditions. Along the way, the course strengthens skills that matter well beyond startups: structured decision making under uncertainty, collaboration under pressure, and clear communication of complex ideas.
