Startup Coaching

Bert-Morten Arnicke is the central point of contact for students, researchers and aspiring founders on their entrepreneurial journey. He supports startup projects from the initial idea through to company formation, advises on idea and business model development, and provides guidance on funding opportunities and pre-startup financing. He ensures that startup teams have access to the right environment, the right resources and the right connections at every stage of their development – both within Martin Luther University and across the regional startup and innovation ecosystem. In addition, he continuously develops the startup community and fosters exchange between founders, mentors and partner organisations.
