€8M+ raised.
By startups that came out of a student-run AI incubator in Munich.
When I was leading the AI E-Lab at TUM.ai, the idea was pretty simple:
Get insanely ambitious technical people into one room.
Give them 12 weeks.
And optimize for one thing: build.
Not startup theory.
Not endless workshops.
Not writing business plans nobody will ever read.
Build the MVP. Talk to users. Break things. Iterate. Pitch. Repeat.
A few iterations later, AI E-Lab startups have raised €8M+.
Founders went on to Y Combinator, EWOR and some of Europe’s top VCs.
And somehow, we’re already entering it's 6th iteration.
The program is still:
→ 100% equity-free
→ Munich-based
→ your own workspace
→ weekly sessions with founders & operators
→ direct access to VCs
→ surrounded by people actually building
You don’t even need a finished startup.
An idea, a prototype (or simply the obsession to build something) is enough.
If you're in Munich and have been thinking:
"I should really start that AI / deep-tech company..."
This is probably your sign.
Applications close Saturday, September 26th at midnight.
Don’t spend another semester thinking about it.
Build it.
