A world champion, a game of Thrones<\/em>-Star, two power women and the winners of the pitch competition: Even after the crashing start on Sunday, Bits & Pretzels kept up the pace on its second day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What happened so far: On opening Sunday<\/a> Stefan Raab celebrated his comeback at Bits & Pretzels. After almost two years, the comedian made his public return to Munich. However, Oscar winner Kevin Spacey stole the show that evening by announcing his surprise entry as the fourth organizer of the Munich Founders Festival.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

By Monday the dust had settled somewhat, but the program remained top-class: The first was\u00a0 Philipp Lahm<\/strong>The World Cup captain reported together with the founders of his Investments Fanmiles<\/a> about their business model and how they found each other.<\/p>\n

DLD founder Stephanie Czerny<\/strong>\u00a0 met, as she herself said, one of her role models: entrepreneur and professor\u00a0 Ann-Kristin Achleitner<\/strong>The talk between the two successful women revolved around core topics of the startup scene: Czerny asked Achtleitner how the practical skills of entrepreneurship could theoretically be taught at a university. What can be achieved at a university, according to the entrepreneurship professor, is for students to discover their own potential.<\/p>\n

For Achleitner, confidants with whom one can exchange ideas and collaborate are invaluable on the path to becoming a successful entrepreneur. In general, she's looking less for network contacts and more for real friends:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don't like networking so much, but friendship is important.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Both Czerny and Achleitner shared their enthusiasm for Munich's startup scene, with its high-caliber education, strong economy, and strong networking. The main difference between Munich and other major ecosystems around the world is that it is less heavily promoted by media coverage.<\/p>\n
