Who we are
Our initiative Women Start-up excites and motivates women to become involved in technology and entrepreneurship. We help you discover your talents and provide you with the right qualifications to found a start-up. On your path to becoming a founder, we support you hands-on and offer consulting.
"We need more women in the tech start-up scene. Considering the societal challenges we’re facing, we can’t afford to do without women's entrepreneurial power and creativity. That’s why we founded the Women Start-up initiative: to encourage women and support them in setting up their businesses or getting involved in a start-up."
Dr. Helmut Schönenberger, Founder und Managing Director of UnternehmerTUM
"Numerous studies show that diverse teams perform better. We need more female entrepreneurs who help to drive social change. To support women in this phase and also to invest more venture capital in female founding teams, we at UVC support the Women Start-up initiative"

8.3.23 Online-Training "Be a strong and authentic female leader" (9 am to 1 pm, in English)
We empower women for their future roles as leaders by humanizing leadership and achieving female growth. It takes more than skill development for leaders to perform well and in a sustainable way. Leaders also need the capacity for self-reflection and to be able to learn from experiences gained in all areas of life. Women are encouraged to sharpen their self-efficacy in order to appear more confident and express their abilities - because those who want to lead need to inspire themselves in order to inspire others
You will learn, how to
- be an authentic and powerful leader
- strengthen an entrepreneurial mindset & your self-empowerment profile
- support growth and resilience through human-centered behavior
- being inspired by role-models and one’s own vision

10.5.23 Onsite-Training at Urban Colab München "Successfully working together as a diverse team" (12.30 pm to 4.30 pm, in English)
Learn about tools and tips for a winning (remote) team culture and effective collaboration.
A practical and engaged team is much more than a bunch of people thrown together to accomplish a goal. Because teams are such an inherent part of how we work, it is easy to believe we know what makes the team perform well, however, this is often not the case.
Your diverse team culture makes you different from others! Based on our experience with teams, a shared team identity increases cohesion, performance, and productivity.
You will learn
- how to build a highly collaborative & performant team,
- how to create engagement within your team & attract new team members, and
- why diversity drives your team's success.
Trainer: Doris Schönbeck, UnternehmerTUM Start-up Services
