Open Entrepenuership Co-Founder Run: Meet research-based startups looking to find commercial co-founders

Twice a year, Open Entrepreneurship facilitates a national co-founder run: The purpose is to match research-based pre-startup teams with entrepreneurs and industry experts as co-founders in order to accelerate the creation of impactful ventures.

In this session you will get insights from research on strong academic co-founder teams, why the founder relationship matters, and what makes the right match. You will hear research-based pre-startups pitch what co-founder types they are looking for and after the stage programme you will have a chance to meet the teams at our stand next to the startup stage ( no.1104 Startups Powered by Research).
