Agenda

An intimate exchange with entrepreneurs, experts and professionals on eye-level.

Meet Oliver Hanisch, CEO of Campus Founders, for an exchange at the Stage ONE Lounge.

Many robotics and AI startups succeed in building impressive prototypes but fail when it comes to scaling into real production.

What if your greatest advantage as a startup founder... was being from somewhere else?

Sebastian and Frederick will talk about how Founders can evaluate, if their Startup/Company is ready to raise Series-A from both a Founders (Frederic) and a VC (Sebastian) perspective. They’ll also show possible pitfalls, KPIs that need to be reached and share their overall experience raising Series-A investment.

Personal AI assistants are moving from novelty to habit quietly shaping what we notice, how we make decisions, and how we relate to each other.

 In this input session, founders and innovators will learn how to strategically leverage innovation networks to support their growth – with practical tips and examples from the KI Park ecosystem.

Whatever you’re building—SaaS, marketplace, or D2C—the math per customer decides your runway. In this fast, hands-on 30-minute sprint, we’ll cut through the noise and focus on the four numbers that matter most: Contribution Margin (CM1), CAC, LTV, and Payback. In plain language, we’ll show how small shifts in pricing, retention/repurchase, or acquisition efficiency change your trajectory—from cash flow to fundraising story.
