New Venture Consulting

Dr. Camila Londoño moved to Germany in early 2023 to join the SCE.

Camila holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Toronto. Since 2015, she has worked to support the commercialization of research and innovation at organizations including CCRM (formerly the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine) and the University of Toronto’s Hatchery. Starting in 2018, she led the Science Discovery Zone, one of ten incubators at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), which has the largest academic entrepreneurship program in the world . There, she supported over 150 startups to pursue evidence-based innovation and entrepreneurship, and developed two courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels to help science students explore entrepreneurial ventures. She is passionate about supporting early-stage and diverse entrepreneurs.

Saskia Schmidl joined the team at the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship in summer 2017. As part of the new venture programme, she advises founders and supports our teams of the start-up-league in the incubator.

Saskia received her degree as a graduate in Social Sciences from the University of Göttingen (focus on business administration, economic and social psychology, civilian media law and sociology).

She has come to know the founding scene from various perspectives and gained valuable experience: as part of start-ups, on the investor‘s side of a venture capital company or in a supraregional third party project to promote and support start-ups of scientists from non-university research institutions (Max Planck Society and Helmholtz Association).

My mission in life is to enable people to shape the future in a sustainable way.

After graduating in Business Administration (Marketing, Sales Management, Organizational Development) at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg with co-creation brand project as a personal highlight, I spent more than 20 years building and developing FMCG brands internationally in an American corporation.

With the change from a large company to a company founder in the food sector in 2015, I have gone through and experienced all facets of founding, building and liquidating.

Until joining SCE in early December 2022, I was consulting various start ups/SMEs on strategy, business model, product development and co-developing a concept for a sustainable e-commerce platform. In parallel, I have been working on sustainable topics such as circular economy, transformation to sustainable business models and stewardship ownership.
