We quickly realised that we wanted to make a change in career guidance. No more flyers about jobs that no one will ever understand! With the geniusforfuture app, young people not only discover the possibilities of their professional future in an exciting way, but can also get to know their own professional interests and companies in a new way.

Geniusforfuture is a modern career guidance tool for school pupils. Now career guidance meets TikTok-ification and gameification.

The idea for Sundpaddeln came from the company 'Stadtpaddeln Rostock', where I worked as a guide myself. I was so enthusiastic about this concept that I decided to offer the same thing with my partner in my home town of Stralsund.

We offer guided tours of Stralsund from a kayak and give our guests a change of perspective on this fascinating Hanseatic city.

My sister and I took over the restaurant after our mother died. The house is not just a restaurant, but also our childhood home. We have a team of 10 employees who are like family to us, as some of us have known each other for 20 years. My sister and I work full-time in other jobs in other cities. But the place and the staff are so close to our hearts that we keep the restaurant open.

The lakeside restaurant "Am Kap" is located on a small hill in Prenzlau. Here, guests can enjoy regional and fresh cuisine with a wonderful view of the Unteruckersee.

Jessica had always toyed with the idea of turning her previous training in media design into self-employment, but never had the courage to do so. Then Tobias was part of a video project and was not satisfied with the result. He felt it lacked personality and quality. He decided to do better, came home and said to Jessica "come on, let's start!". The two of them got together and submitted the business registration the next day.

My travel blog has been around since I started travelling the world in 2017. As a content creator, I love showing people the world and its different cultures with emotional texts, pictures and videos. In 2021, I also started writing articles for magazines and worked on my first book publication. In the course of this, I founded freigereist, a sole proprietorship, and now work as an author, copywriter and speaker.

The book "Gegenwind - Mit dem Fahrrad zwischen Feuer und Eis" was named Epubli Book of the Month for April 2023.

Hi, I'm Sophia Hammer and co-founder of Nova Campus. We were supported by Stapellauf NORD°OST° in applying for and realising the Exist start-up grant. The cross-university collaboration has helped us in particular to develop further. We contribute our experience to the network for new start-up teams, for example at the lecture series.
