Consulting and Coaching

Is your idea already fully developed? Have you made concrete plans for a start-up and just need the finishing touches and funding? Your project outline is in good hands with the enaCom coaching team. We provide individual coaching to address your needs and questions, and help you on the way to your own start-up. The consulting is free of charge and strictly confidential.

Consulting for Business Models

Although it is important to have a good idea for a start-up, having a business idea is not enough. You also have to have a suitable, sustainable business model. It is often difficult for a young start-up project to choose the right business model. It helps to identify the focus of your business and achieve its goals efficiently. A well-designed business model can help you and everyone else to understand your start-up project.

We help you to ask the right questions to determine appropriate milestones. One of the tools we use is the proven Business Model Canvas method, which analyzes and develops key factors until a viable model is created. The strengths and weaknesses of your business idea are also examined, along with economic sustainability.

Consulting for Funding

In addition to private investors and banks, public funding can also be a valuable source of funding for your start-up. enaCom coaches help University start-up projects applying for this funding. People interested in starting a business are always initially reluctant, even though many of these programs are specifically aimed at start-ups in the pre-start-up phase.

enaCom can help you to find funding, regardless of how much you need. The various accelerators and incubators are also good starting points for further development of your product. You can find more information on the different funding programs listed here. Many competitions for funding are also worth considering taking part in. More information is available here.

Software in medicine

The Bonn Hub for Algorithmic Innovations in Medicine (BoHAIMe) is a specialist incubator for algorithmic innovations at the medical faculty of the University of Bonn and Bonn University Hospital. It focuses in particular on digital medical devices that are subject to the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). This relates in particular to issues of patient safety in digital applications that, for example, provide information to make decisions for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Due to its high level of regulation, the MDR poses major challenges for start-up teams. The aim of BoHAIMe is therefore to support start-up teams at an early stage in the MDR-compliant development of their product and thus offer them a competitive advantage when entering the market. To this end, the founders are supported by a highly specialized team that imparts the knowledge, procedures and skills relevant to the regulated sector, including in the areas of quality and risk management and software lifecycle management, and is involved in product development.
