The nationwide educational project launches during the official Startup Week 2025, from November 17th to 23rd. It aims to introduce students to practical economic thinking and the fundamentals of starting a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In over a hundred schools across Germany, volunteer founders and entrepreneurs lead a double lesson focusing on idea development, business models, and elevator pitches. The goal is to inspire young people to pursue entrepreneurship and show them that starting a business is a real option alongside university studies or vocational training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saskia Teufel<\/strong>, founder of the initiative and herself from the Munich startup scene, says:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&quot;We want to bring entrepreneurship to where curiosity begins: into schools. Starting a business is not an elitist path, but an entrepreneurial attitude from which our country benefits: recognizing problems, taking responsibility and creating solutions. That is exactly what we want to show young people.&quot;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A nationwide network with Munich roots<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The project originates from the YFN network, which has been connecting young entrepreneurs from the region for years. Together with Gr\u00fcndungsmagnet, the network has built a nationwide team of around 100 volunteer entrepreneurs. Among them is Daniel Schmitt-Haverkamp from the Munich-based startup. <a href=\"\/en\/startups\/everdrop-gmbh\/?brly_source=branchly&amp;brly_medium=search\">Everdrop<\/a>, Darius G\u00f6ttert (G\u00f6ttert Ventures), Pheline Huber (Lyfe Ads), Lorenz Kopp (Next Step HR) and Leon Pelikan (Political X Change).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStartup in School\u201d is organized by a ten-person team that coordinates implementation, partner contacts, and quality assurance. In addition to classroom lessons, the program aims to foster long-term exchange between founders, teachers, and students \u2013 an approach also implemented in Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paul Funke<\/strong>The project organizer is seeking support from companies, foundations, and educational institutions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe welcome partners who understand entrepreneurship as an educational mission and want to work with us to promote a new entrepreneurial culture in Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Because every investment in entrepreneurship education is an investment in future viability, according to Funke.<br>The project aims to contribute in the long term to anchoring economic thinking and social responsibility at an early age, in order to inspire the next generation of founders.<br><br>Those who would like to support the project can find <a
