Do you have a technological idea, a motivated team – but no fixed schedule yet? Then Xplore Freerider is the right program for you! The adaptable entry into UnternehmerTUM-Ecosystem supports founders in the early stages with maximum flexibility, personal coaching and a modular learning approach.
Unlike other programs, you can apply at any time – and get started right away after successful acceptance. The onboarding session will provide an overview of all modules and the next steps. The next Jumpstart onboarding sessions will take place on May 5, June 12, and July 10, 2025.
Startup support according to your schedule
Freerider works according to the principle: as much as necessary, as individual as possible.
You choose from five practice-oriented modules:
- Customer Discovery
- Business Creation
- Legal & Finance
- PowerUp Skills
- PowerUp Team
The modules build on each other but can be flexibly combined. Live online training, individual feedback, and practical coaching sessions help you progress step by step – from the first value proposition to a well-founded MVP.
Active and committed teams also have the chance to qualify for the exclusive Pitch & Polish event – an on-site coaching session with investor feedback and pitch training.
Who is Xplore Freerider suitable for?
The program is aimed at startup teams who:
- at least two people strong,
- develop a technological solution,
- have identified a relevant problem scenario,
- want to further develop their idea in a market-oriented manner.
You have big ideas – Freerider offers you the space to pursue them flexibly and independently. Introduce your team and your idea – with a pitch deck, one-pager, and video. Xplore Freerider is always open for applications. Your path into the UnternehmerTUM startup ecosystem begins exactly when you're ready.
All information and application options can be found on the Program page.
