The SCE Precelerator, Community Space for Entrepreneurship & Prototyping, aims to motivate young people to start a business. This offer has been available at Munich University of Applied Sciences since 2020, and the café was added as a very important first touchpoint of the community space at the beginning of 2023. Julia Zipf, startup consultant and Manager Incubator & Precelerator at SCE, explains what the Precelerator is all about in an interview with Munich Startup. And three founders of success stories from the Precelerator also have their say: Micro Factory, Hebio and Boxing Babe.

Munich Startup: Please briefly introduce the SCE Precelerator.

Julia Zipf: The Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship (SCE), Munich University of Applied Sciences' start-up center, supports around 60-70 young founders every year in setting up their business and entering the market. Munich University of Applied Sciences is committed to entrepreneurship across all faculties. The SCE offers a wide range of courses and programs to get students interested in starting a business at an early stage. An important building block here is the Precelerator. It is - deliberately - an offline community space for students who love project work, want to develop as problem solvers and get a taste of the startup scene. To this end, we offer a wide-ranging workshop program, from hands-on printing of team T-shirts to AI tool training and software or hardware prototyping workshops.

Of course, we also want our maker community to network with each other and with our experienced startup founders in the best possible way. To ensure that this works well and, above all, quickly, we organize the "Brezelerator", a free "meet-our-startups" breakfast, on the first Thursday of every month, as well as numerous topic-specific events.

SCE Precelerator focuses on tech fun

Munich Startup: What makes your offer special?

Julia Zipf: The Precelerator focuses on tech fun and offers a playground for anyone who wants to try their hand at technical implementation or test the technical feasibility of their business idea or invention with the help of our tech experts. Of course, we also help with brainstorming in the early phase, for example with small ideation challenges as an exercise or a case study on a real task from a startup. Students interested in founding a company from other universities in Munich are also already using our Precelerator program.

The Precelerator consists of a café (with free coffee), the workshop and event program, the loan of technical equipment (such as cameras, podcast microphones, drones, Raspberry, etc.) and close cooperation with the university's student-organized MakerSpace.
