Following spells at Yahoo! and carpooling.com while they were still start-ups, he now advises young founders through\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eisbach-partners.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eisbach Partners<\/a>, the consultancy firm he co-founded. By contrast, Shireen Stengel and Isabelle Rennollet are still new to the scene. In the fall of 2019, Isabelle Rennollet founded\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/die-mondpiloten.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Die Mondpiloten<\/a>, a 360\u00b0 marketing agency for the entertainment, gaming and fashion industries. Meanwhile, Shireen Stengel set up her own business in early 2020:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greencanteen.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Green Canteen<\/a> is a digital platform connecting organic farmers and commercial kitchens to promote regionality and seasonality in canteens. As the two women explained, they had never actually planned to go into business for themselves and valued the security of employment; in fact, it was somewhat coincidental encounters and private decisions that forced them to rethink matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the COVID-19 pandemis impacts the start-up scene<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sabine-Schulte-Flow-Shireen-edited-1024x1022.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of Shireen Stengel, Alumna of Munich Business School and speaker at the MBS Start-up Spirit No. 6\" class=\"wp-image-16870\" width=\"189\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sabine-Schulte-Flow-Shireen-edited-1024x1022.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sabine-Schulte-Flow-Shireen-edited-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sabine-Schulte-Flow-Shireen-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sabine-Schulte-Flow-Shireen-edited.jpg 1301w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One topic discussed during the course of the evening was the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the start-up scene. All three founders agreed that, even if they had been affected \u2013 because they had been unable to launch a platform as planned due to all canteens being closed, or because the pandemic had forced a switch to new digital formats \u2013 it was important to bounce back. They argued it was important to seize the pandemic as an opportunity to polish your own ideas, to network, and even explore new business ideas. \u201cIn the long run, such crises turn out to be drivers of innovation by revealing shortcomings, just as coronavirus has in relation to supply chain management,\u201d explained Shireen Stengel. Markus Barnikel, who knows the scene very well, agreed that it was important not to worry too much about the impact of the pandemic. He said that the start-up ecosystem in Germany and Europe has never been healthier, it has never been easier to find investors, and the range of networking events and overall infrastructure has never been so extensive. Ultimately, your idea and your personal information is the be-all and end-all. \u201cIf you\u2019re passionate about your idea, you\u2019ll do just fine!\u201d he told the MBS students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the right time to found a start-up?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Isabelle_10x15_2_rgb-edited-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of Isabelle Rennollet, Alumna of Munich Business School and speaker at the MBS Start-up Spirit No. 6\" class=\"wp-image-16872\" width=\"206\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Isabelle_10x15_2_rgb-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Isabelle_10x15_2_rgb-edited-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Isabelle_10x15_2_rgb-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Isabelle_10x15_2_rgb-edited.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One question from the audience of the MBS Start-up Spirit was whether it was best to wait until after graduation before starting a company or whether it could be done while studying. Once again, the three MBS alumni were in agreement: they explained that, as with so many things in life, there is no perfect time to start a company, and this is a very personal decision. In principle, however, it certainly wouldn\u2019t hurt to start a business while still at university, as the overall process is more complex and time-intensive than it sometimes appears from the outside. Develop your idea, discuss it with your friends, find test groups, don\u2019t be shy, tell others about your idea, exchange ideas with like-minded people, take advantage of networking events, incorporate feedback, and continuously optimize your idea \u2013 these were among the valuable tips from the alumni founders. \u201cWhen it comes to pitching and attracting funding, a carefully developed pitch deck is crucial. Is your idea unique? Does it solve a problem? Does it serve a higher purpose? What is your market and roll-out plan? How much money do you need and how will you find it? These are all questions you need to answer,\u201d said MBS alumnus Markus Barnikel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, you should not be deterred or discouraged if you don\u2019t succeed at the first attempt. It is important to remember that investors work in cycles and ideas sometimes just don\u2019t fit into their portfolios \u2013 but they might later on. \u201cI always say that a&nbsp;<em>no<\/em>&nbsp;is just a&nbsp;<em>yes<\/em>&nbsp;for the future!\u201d said Isabelle Rennollet encouragingly. The speakers explained that start-up founders will experience many ups and downs in their lives and must therefore be flexible and always ready to adapt their ideas. \u201cFounding a start-up is a rollercoaster. If you don\u2019t like rollercoasters, you\u2019d better get employed,\u201d said Shireen Stengel succinctly. So, what else do founders need? Simple: The ability to collaborate! No matter whether you have a team of co-founders or decide to go it alone, you need to be aware that you can never do everything yourself. As Isabelle put it, \u201csuccess is never a one-man show\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many thanks to our alumni Markus, Shireen and Isabelle for taking part in MBS Start-up Spirit, offering fascinating insights, and sharing valuable tips and tricks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/en\/?mtm_campaign=Insights_Banner_Startseite-EN&amp;mtm_source=Blog&amp;mtm_medium=Banner-Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/mbs-insights-billdbord-web2.jpg\" alt=\"Study Business in Germany Banner\" class=\"wp-image-20989\" style=\"width:1400px;height:236px\" width=\"1400\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/mbs-insights-billdbord-web2.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.munich-business-school.de\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/mbs-insights-billdbord-web2-800x135.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><br><strong>You are interested in economics and want to acquire in-depth business know-how?<\/strong><br>Then the international business degrees at Munich Business School (MBS) are just right for you!
