Our Story.
We like to call ourselves explorers, innovators and creators.
The Student Startup Hub was created by eleven innovators who wanted to shorten the gap between having an idea and its realisation. It is meant to be an engaging space for all your ideas, even the craziest. If you have a business idea or are interested in entrepreneurship, innovation and personal growth, join our events and share your passions with other inspiring and ambitious students.
Our Mission.
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started” – Mark Twain.
The Student Startup Hub’s mission is to become the greatest network for innovators, creators and entrepreneurs. Accordingly, we want to build a culture and provide a space where like-minded people can meet. For us there is more than just being innovative, it’s about being innovative together.
Our Values.
CONNECT
In the first place the Student Startup Hub is all about connections. A diverse network that stands for sharing and togetherness through the connection of value, competences, experiences, insights, knowledge, wishes, ideas, dreams, motivations, desires, visions, thoughts, passions, innovations, resources, backgrounds, purposes, lifes and a lot more.
INSPIRE GROWTH
Inspiration and personal growth, in our opinion, are very much connected. Accordingly, we believe that there is always time to inspire or be inspired, share thoughts, expertise and knowledge, push each other to thrive and grow as well as keep on learning for oneself and others.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
For us, entrepreneurship means spreading new ideas, developing innovation, embracing creative destruction, participating in technological change, rethinking processes, services and products, finding optimizations and creative solutions but also designing, launching and running new businesses for a better future.
