Building and Scaling a Successful Startup – Web Series

Start your journey into the world of startups with the first module of our six-part web series “Building and Scaling a Successful Startup.”

What to expect:

In this six-part online series by the Startup Academy, founders and aspiring entrepreneurs learn step by step how an idea becomes a successful and scalable startup. From idea validation to building a viable business model, product development, marketing and customer acquisition, all the way to financing, team building, and scaling — the series provides practical know-how, proven methods, and concrete tools from real startup experience.

The sessions are designed for early-stage startups, founders, and innovation enthusiasts who want to build their venture on a solid foundation and grow sustainably.

Module 3: “Product Development & MVP”

Turn your concept into a tangible product and test it in the real world.

In “Product Development & MVP,” guided by Elianne Hutet you will learn how to transform your business idea into a first version of your product that can be tested with real users. The focus of this module is on developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that allows you to validate key assumptions quickly and efficiently.

Together with experienced startup practitioners, you will explore practical approaches to product development and learn how to prioritize the features that create the most value for your early customers.

You will also discover how to structure the product development process, gather meaningful user feedback, and iterate your product based on real market insights.

This module will help you:

  • Define the core features of your first product version (MVP)
  • Prioritize product development based on customer value
  • Test your product idea with early users and collect actionable feedback

The session will be held in English. Questions can be asked and answered in both German and English.

The streaming link will be shared after registration.

After Module 3, you will have a clear roadmap for developing and testing your first product version and taking the next steps toward product–market fit.

Please register no later than Monday evening, April 13, 2026.

Das Workshop-Angebot fortlaufend anzupassen und zu erweitern, gehört mit zum Erfolgsrezept der Startup Academy. Die Feedbacks und regelmässigen Evaluationen zeigen, dass sie bei den Startups sehr gut ankommen. Dies ist auch der Grund, weshalb die Angebote gezielt ausgebaut werden. Im Moment werden folgende Formate durchgeführt: Die beiden Business Model Canvas-Workshops (Basic, Advanced) dienen dazu, alle Elemente der eigenen Geschäftsidee zu kennen und in ihrem Zusammenspiel zu verstehen;  Richtig Pitchen hilft bei der prägnanten Vorstellung der eigenen Geschäftsidee je nach Zeit, Ort und Zielpublikum unterschiedlich; Mixed Management Pickles zeigt die Konzepte und Instrumente, die es beim Aufbau des eigenen Startups im Auge zu behalten gilt; und Kundenerlebnis fordert dazu auf, sich vom eigenen Produkt oder der eigenen Dienstleistung zu lösen und das Erlebnis des Kunden ins Zentrum zu stellen.
