The content of the course is based on a solid understanding of entrepreneurship and professional self-employment as a basic prerequisite for start-ups. Based on this, the start-up process is taught. This includes: the development of a business idea, the evaluation of a business idea, the transformation of a business idea into a business model, the development of overall presentations such as business plans and "pitch decks". Building on this, governance issues (especially legal form, patent protection) and the basics of start-up marketing and start-up financing are taught.

Building on the basic knowledge of start-up management in the seed phase created in Start-up Management I, the students should become familiar with central aspects and special features in the founding of start-ups as well as the management of a young company. The students should be enabled to think and act entrepreneurially. The focus is on the transfer of knowledge as well as the application of selected instruments, methods and approaches and, above all, the transfer of what has been learned to real application contexts. The course is intended to motivate and qualify students to start their own business.
