RISE: GründerWerkstatt #3 on Marketing & Sales
Start-up consultingConcerns/Category:
The GründerWerkstatt is a new format designed to help participants reflect on their own ideas and develop them further through interaction with others interested in starting a business.
As such, this workshop series, organized by the Regional Institute for Start-ups and Entrepreneurship and Campus Kemnath, is aimed at people with varying levels of prior knowledge and a wide range of ideas. The third session will focus on the topics of “Marketing & Sales.”
When? Thursday, July 9, 2026, 3:30–6:45 p.m.
Where? Coworking Kemnath (Röntgenstraße 14, 95478 Kemnath)
Who? The GründerWerkstatt is designed for aspiring entrepreneurs and anyone with a general interest in self-employment.
The GründerWerkstatt lasts about four hours per session and combines a roughly one-hour expert presentation with a self-organized, collaborative coworking phase during which participants can continue developing their ideas with the support of experts. These experts do not act as traditional lecturers, but rather as facilitators. Exchange of ideas plays an essential role in this process.
With Sarah Segerer (sub.lab – strategist and owner of a marketing agency) and Julia Mahr (sabbalott. – coach and trainer for personal, team, and organizational development), two perspectives come together that complement each other perfectly. Together, they explore the topics of brand, culture, and corporate culture, demonstrating that it’s not just about visual identity and marketing strategy, but also about the structures, values, and behaviors behind the scenes.
Participation in the GründerWerkstatt is free of charge. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
