THE VENTURE is designed as a startup competition based on the principle of "Patent seeks founder." Students, graduates, and other startup enthusiasts from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland develop business models based on predefined patents and technologies.
Within three months, patent-based applications will be developed into business models, which can and should ultimately lead to startups. The technologies currently available include a car-sharing technology as a "mobile phone-to-car gateway," identification of 3D-printed objects, and more.
Too many ideas and technologies remain unused
The daily struggle of large and small companies with patents shows that many market-ready technologies often remain unused – and with them, unique products. In response, the startup competition THE VENTURE has been launched.
Individuals and teams are invited to found a startup based on existing patents and given technologies.
• Applications are still possible until mid-August
• More than 60 universities and colleges are already participating
• Over 60 teams and founders will compete for the best business models
• Association Founding Angel supports innovative patent-based business model contest
The application deadline is August 15, 2015; the final pitch will take place in early December 2015. Partner of the Business Model Contest THE VENTURE is, among others, the SCE.
