First your studies, then a permanent job with an existing company? This is no longer every graduate’s dream. More and more students, graduates and scientists have ideas that they would like to realise themselves, and dare to take the path towards self-employment. The University of Cologne would like to support this endeavour. The Gateway Exzellenz Start-up Center of the University of Cologne was therefore created as a contact point for everyone from Cologne’s universities who is interested in setting up their own business and who is considering self-employment and the idea of setting up their own company.

The Gateway Excellence Start-up Centre is the contact point for all those interested in founding a company and start-ups at the University of Cologne. The free services include start-up coaching, advice on funding, incubator places and an accelerator programme. In addition, students and researchers can acquire know-how in courses and workshops, e.g. on topics such as entrepreneurship, data science or design thinking. Last but not least, contacts can be established in the Cologne start-up ecosystem at networking events.  The latest news on events and the topic of start-ups can be found on the social media channels and the website. 

The Cologne-based start-up DynAmaze was founded by alumni of the WiSo faculty and uses an online platform to offer expiring tickets from leisure providers exclusively at a lower price. DynAmaze is the first leisure platform that efficiently fills free capacities with the help of dynamic pricing, smartly directs visitors to free time slots and thus makes the best possible use of leisure providers' existing resources. While this leads to a sustainable optimisation of the provider's capacity utilisation, users can organise their leisure time more easily, spontaneously and cheaply with their smartphone.

Fast, healthy and suuuuper tasty: our Cologne-based start-up feelfood® stands for comfort food in a cup. Our meals are not only quick to prepare, but at the same time wholesome, plant-based and of course suuuuper tasty.
So that we can offer everyone a healthy meal that tastes just like home-cooked tastes like home-cooked - even when things have to be done quickly.
Because let's face it: life is simply too short for bad food.
