VIBRANT COMMUNITY
During the six-month program, participants engage in a vibrant, supportive community where they actively shape the experience while pursuing their individual goals. Guided by a dedicated team of TUM doctoral researchers, they benefit from scientific supervision, methodological support, and regular activities that foster collaboration and trust.
Pitch Events
Showcase your startup at exclusive pitch events or learn about the newest developments of others to learn from the depth and diversity of entrepreneurial talent within the program. These events are not just about presenting your ideas; they are excellent grounds for networking, partnership building, and securing investments. The interactions with venture capitalists and investors at these events go beyond mere pitches—it’s about creating a network of support, advice, and opportunity that continues to grow and strengthen over time.
Offsite Adventures
Escape to the Bavarian Alps for one of our offsite adventures to blend leisure with learning, fostering a sense of community and teamwork. These activities are unique for every event and mostly season-dependent, ensuring a rich variety of experiences. Combine group activities, team building, inspiring creativity, learning, and fellowship in stunning natural surroundings.
Networking & Community Events
Participating in networking and community events is essential to foster deep connections among participants. Enjoy vibrant community events like joint learning sessions, working out with fellows, cooking together, visiting local must-sees, exploring the Munich nightlife, and many more exciting activities. These activities not only enrich the Masterclass experience but also cultivate friendships and professional relationships that last well beyond the program’s duration.
