HEY, LET'S DISCUSS THE future of our planet

On May 4th it is Germany's Overshoot Day. You may know that each year's Earth Overshoot Day marks the calendar date when humanity has used up all the biological resources that the Earth can renew during the entire year. A Country’s Overshoot Day is the date on which Earth Overshoot Day would fall if all of humanity consumed like the people in this country. We will use this day to discuss about Climate Tech and Green Businesses that aim at making the world a greener place (again).

How that? We invited two exceptional founders, Ruth von Heusinger and Yasha Tarani, and an investor, Markus Sudhoff, to the table. Questions for our evening at the Pioneers Club will be: How and where to start? We will take a look at our guests' journey and experiences when starting a company in the field of climate tech. What solutions are there already? We will also be talking about innovations and solutions out there and how individuals and companies can use them.

ABOUT US

We from the Founders Foundation train the next generation of successful founders, right in the heart of the German “Mittelstand” – the family businesses, the salt-of-the-earth type companies that form the foundation of the economy. We are pioneering the training of founders using our own Founders Foundation Education Model.

By building a lasting B2B startup ecosystem, we connect New and Old Business. We help shape the digital future out of Ostwestfalen-Lippe, a region characterized by both modern urban spaces and large rural areas. For this purpose, we launched the tech conference “Hinterland of Things” in 2018.

As a non-profit organization, the core of all our efforts is a success- and impactful cultivation of tomorrow’s founders. We do not take any shares in the companies.
