Ready to turn your ideas into a real venture?🚀



From 13-15 October 2026, we are hosting the 52nd Founders' Bootcamp at the RWTH Collective Incubator in Aachen – three intensive days for students, researchers, and early-stage founders who want to take the next serious step toward building a startup.



Over the course of the bootcamp, participants will:

✅ Develop and stress-test their business model

✅ Work on and refine their pitch deck and presentation skills

✅ Explore funding options (including EXIST and VC perspectives)

✅ Gain practical guidance on risk, liability, and insurance

✅ Dive into topics like innovating in the age of generative AI

✅ Learn from real founder experiences – including common early-stage screw-ups

✅ Connect with entrepreneurs, coaches, and experts from the Aachen startup ecosystem



The program culminates in an elevator pitch contest and networking session, offering direct feedback and new connections for your entrepreneurial journey.
