Startup Readiness Check

Is your company ready for successful startup collaborations?

Let´s talk

Identify potential, secure your competitive edge

Find out how prepared your organisation is to work with startups and identify the areas where this collaboration can enhance your competitive advantage.

In an increasingly digital and innovation-driven business landscape, collaborating with startups can be a decisive success factor. However, our experience shows that approximately 65% of startup collaborations fail, often due to unclear objectives, poor partner selection or inadequate preparation on both sides.

Our Startup Readiness Check helps you reduce the risk of failure and prepare optimally for future startup collaborations.
