Start-Up Labs Hamburg

What a Closure! The final edition of this year's Entrepreneurship Lunch, themed "Empowering Female Founders," left us with warm hearts and smiles. Despite the event starting with the unfortunate news that our keynote speaker, Qiao Zhang, couldn't attend due to illness, we were thrilled to welcome over 35 guests at Start-up Labs Hamburg. Together, we dived deep into the topic of female leadership and the challenges of founding a start-up as a (self-identified) woman. After a short welcome and introduction by Katrin Schönert from the DESY Start-up Office and Susanne Dietz from Start-Up Labs Hamburg, the stage was taken by four impressive women: Pre-founders Ekaterina Jung (Zapolnova) from 5pectre Optixx and Anna von Berg from PatentPen, as well as founder Louisa Wiethold from Equalista - guided by moderator Lizzy Harmstorf from the DESY Start-up Office - shared personal insights from their start-up journeys. Each brought a unique perspective: Ekaterina, with her background in research and experience at another start-up; Anna, a physicist, patent lawyer, and mother of two (soon to be three); and Louisa, with her second start-up and finance background, committed to bootstrapping. Key takeaways included: • Anna: "Prioritize and strategize by saying no." • Louisa: "Dare to take your time and grow slowly." • Ekaterina: "Learn from others and seek a female mentor." The audience's questions led to memorable moments, such as Anna demonstrating the power of confident body posture and the varied answers to the question about the right time for founding a start-up. For Anna, the answer was "never," while Louisa said "always." Ekaterina emphasized that building a business can take time, but founding a start-up part-time while keeping a secure employment contract is also a viable option. We concluded that the start-up ecosystem would certainly benefit from more female founders! The event ended with a lively networking lunch that extended into the afternoon, sparking engaging conversations and creating new connections. A big thank you to all the speakers for their inspiring contributions, to the audience for their thoughtful questions, and to everyone who attended (regardless of gender) for the respectful and empowering atmosphere. We can't wait to continue this journey and explore more empowering stories next year. Thank you to GründungsService der HAW Hamburg for organizing the Female Entrepreneurship Week and to Startup Port for supporting this special Entrepreneurship Lunch. #entrepreneurship #networking #femaleleadership #femalefounders #empowerment

Our future starts in the #TecHHub in Hamburg 🚀 What about our past? 🐪 Our journey started seven years ago in Chile, with support from the regional government of Los Ríos and the collaboration of Ananda Muller. Together with friends, we brought the first alpacas to Universidad Austral de Chile. Since then, we've secured nearly 30 research projects, ~4 million dollars. Our efforts have led to the acquisition of cutting-edge equipment and the development of numerous scientific publications and 9 patents requested 2 already granted. Over the years, about 40 scientists have passed through my laboratory, with several successfully pursuing careers in Europe and Chile. Despite challenges, including renovating an old laboratory and building stables from scratch, with a hammer in the hand, we've made significant strides. Special thanks to everyone who has supported us in this monumental journey. One of the highlight in this story, occurs in April 2020, working tirelessly, we generated ground-breaking nanoantibodies from an alpaca named Buddha This achievement was made possible by the dedication of our team, especial thanks to Guillermo Valenzuela Nieto today group leader and professor Ronald Jara Finally, this week, thanks to the support of Imagine Waves and ProChile Deutschland, the city of Hamburg Invest, DESY & Start-Up Labs Hamburg we have taken a significant leap forward by inaugurating our office and laboratory at the #TecHHub in #Hamburg. Our soft-landed company Berking Bioscience GmbH is dedicated to developing nanoantibodies for the salmon industry and veterinarian applications. We are proud of our progress and exponential growth from the south of Chile. We are looking forward to unveil our full potential into this awesome absolutely new 40 million Euros building constructed by the city of Hamburg!
