The aim is to increase the number of new ventures in Dresden by helping co-founders connect at an early stage and enabling existing startups to find new team members.

I’m super excited to announce that our special guest this time is Thomas Kirchner, founder of ProGlove, who achieved a €500M exit a few years ago. 💥

After his exit, he started the YETI Dresden Entrepreneurship School to give something back to Dresden and build what was missing here for a long time.38 attendees
