Finding a good mentor for a student start-up can be challenging

In the start-up phase of a company it can be especially valuable to be able to spar with an experienced entrepreneur. Therefore the Startup and Running platform was launched.
A mentor really makes the difference when starting a company. A mentor can also be of great value in a more mature phase of a company. On the platform student entrepreneurs can find experienced mentors, active entrepreneurs, who can advise in the various phases of the start-up.

Blended learning benefits both teachers and students

Blended learning is the combination of online (lecture material) and offline (personal contact) educational activities within a course or curriculum. This is in particular suitable for entrepreneurship education, in which experiential learning is central and the need for knowledge is highly context-dependent.
