Dr. Jan-Uwe Claas
Executive Expert Health Care & Pharma
“It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen – I am excited to support engaged entrepreneurs in the crucial steps towards a solid value proposition for their customers”
Julia von Dewitz
Managing Partner Neofaktur eG
"I've been working with start-ups for a long time: as a strategy consultant and even longer as a mentor for student founders in the BCG business@school program. Becoming part of the XPLORE network seems like the next logical step. As a biologist, I know how overwhelming the business side of things can be for tech students. So I would love to act as a bridgebuilder between the scientific and the business side. I can't wait to meet the teams and their ideas!"
Stephan Rauscher
Partner, Earlybird-X
"XPLORE really does an amazing job in bringing start-ups from a very starting point to an innovation-driven and innovation-focused idea. After XPLORE they are ready to go out on the market, scale up and grow. The start-ups bring everything we as investors want to see."
