The Frankfurt School Entrepreneurship Centre once again raised the bar for innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. We hosted our fourth Co-Founder Wanted (“CFW”) event, which has now become a highlight of the entrepreneurial calendar. This two-day event brought together technical and business students in a marathon of ideation sprints.
This time we reached 33 groundbreaking ideas pitched, surpassing last year’s impressive tally of 27. This increase not only reflects the growing interest and enthusiasm within our community but also highlights the vibrant potential of our participants.
The six top ideas were then transformed into compelling pitch decks and the teams showcased their creativity and strategic thinking, culminating in a spirited final pitch battle. The difference between 1st (Onni Care) and 2nd (BeeSage) place was a mere 0.3 points apart. Congratulations to all the participants, especially the winning team: Anne C. Hartmann, Alicja Kapusta, Sofia Ranim El Hamdi, Dr. Nicole Maria Deutrich, Mohit Jagwani, Anirudha PL, Ben Wong, @seyed shahanshah !
A big gratitude goes to our friends from CODE University of Applied Sciences, RWTH Aachen University, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Futury and hessian.AI for collaborating with us and bringing techies to meet the finance students. Thank you Sabine Remmert, Dr. Chris Bonau Schmidt, Michael Salge, Christian Schoendeling, Isabell Schastok, Ufuk S. Erguen and Michael Marquardt.
