ABOUT ANKE RICHTER
I work with international tech startups preparing their market entry into Germany and corporates in the Stuttgart region looking for hands-on startup collaboration.The Startup Welcome Package starts with a remote phase where we test real traction: teams validate their approach, initiate customer conversations and set up concrete meetings. Based on this progress, we select up to eight startups to join the on-site phase in Stuttgart, focused on real corporate meetings and pilot discussions. Not every startup makes it to Stuttgart — only teams that show traction and commitment.If you want to test collaboration instead of talking about it, let’s connect.
