The way of working
We organize camps, personal coaching and other activities. In Haaga, Pasila and Porvoo students have found co-operatives where they can practice entrepreneurship in teams. We believe these different operation modes will help you most effectively. We will bring you together with the other students with entrepreneur attitude. You can network, share thoughts and support each other.
Camps
If you are in interested in running your own business, or you have a business idea, contact us. We will discuss it through and decide how you could proceed. You can participate in our camps in order to find a business idea or to develop your idea further. We organise two kinds of camps:
- Idea Camp: The goal is to create business ideas for you
- Boot Camp: The goal is to develop your existing business idea further
The camps are highly intensive and they call for 110%l input from everyone involved. We mix people from different study programs and campuses so you will be able to meet other interesting students and network with the students interested in entrepreneurship.
Coaching
When you already have a clear business idea, you can have personal coaching (or team coaching). Through coaching our aim is to you make your business idea real. This can take some time, so we need you to commit to the project. We guide you but you do the hard work – it is your future you are working for. You will be coached by our own coaches, other personnel of Haaga-Helia or our business partners. We can help you in business negotiations, finding new contacts etc. We also help you combine your studies with entrepreneurship.
- Coaching 1, Building Business Networks
- Coaching 2, Creating Customer Contacts
- Coaching 3, Starting Your Own Business
You already are running your own business? Excellent! Then we can help you to grow and develop your business.
- Coaching 4, Supporting The Growth
Co-operatives
You don’t have to start up your business on your own. In Haaga, Pasila and Porvoo students are running their own cooperatives in order to practice entrepreneurship. If you are interested in co-operatives, please contact our coaches.
Other Acitivities
We arrange different kind of activities including business idea contests, interesting guest speakers, business breakfasts, international co-operation etc. As we are developing our services all the time these activities vary over the time. Check our Events and News to find out what is coming next.
Credits?
Yes, you also get credits from participating in StartUp School, but don’t even think it that way. This is an investment to your future and your competences. We at StartUp School concentrate on creating new innovative business.
