Meet Helmut Schönenberger, CEO UnternehmerTUM & Vice President TUM and Gyri Reiersen, Co-Founder & CPO, Tanso. Hear how they really built a company, the wins, the wrong turns and what shaped them. Then go hunt your own opportunity.
Opportunity Hunters Talks bring founders, executives, and industry leaders to UnternehmerTUM to share how they really built their companies. Each talk is part of the Opportunity Hunters Program where you learn to read a problem like an entrepreneur and turn it into your own project.
This talk opens the semester, and it's part of Munich Climate Week, a citywide initiative connecting hundreds of events, partners, and people working on climate solutions together. Fittingly, we're kicking off with two speakers who show two sides of the same mission: building the ecosystem, and building a company inside it.
