SIBB Startups - We support founders in the early phase

text module

With passion, experience and a large network, the SIBB Startups team supports entrepreneurs in the early phase of their startup foundation. We help founders in a variety of ways: developing ideas for business models, finding co-founders, developing an initial MVP or finding the first pilot partners, customers or investors.
