Get Early Feedback: Investor Office Hours for Start-ups at HIGHEST

Recently founded and ready for the next step?

Together with Business Angels FrankfurtRheinMain, HIGHEST is launching a new investor office hours format for start-ups this May.

The format is aimed at young start-ups in the early stages of development that are looking to refine their ideas and business models through honest, practical feedback.

In 30-minute sessions, founders have the opportunity to discuss their business model, positioning, and investment readiness with experienced professionals from the business angel community.

The goal is to gain an early understanding of how investors view a start-up, which questions are particularly relevant in the pre-funding stage, and what matters when preparing for potential investor matching and financing.

Especially during the early stages of building a company, engaging with experienced business angels can help founders identify blind spots, sharpen their business model, and approach their next stage of development with greater focus and confidence.

The office hours provide an accessible opportunity for founders to gain valuable feedback while also connecting with one of the leading business angel networks in the Rhine-Main region.

The event is a joint initiative of HIGHEST, the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre of TU Darmstadt, and Business Angels FrankfurtRheinMain.
