💡 Why do we do this
If you want to understand the future of an industry look to the startups that aim to disrupt it. Most actors in the VC and entrepreneurial ecosystem still search more or less manually for intersting new startups. We are looking for a way to automate this search.
🦾Who we are
The Chair for Strategy and Organization is focussed on doing research with impact. This means we do not want to repeat old ideas and base our research solely on the research people did 10 years ago. Instead, we currently research topics that will shape the future. Topics such as Agile Organizations and Digital Disruption, Blockchain Technology, Creativity and Innovation, Digital Transformation and Business Model Innovation, Diversity, Education: Education Technology and Performance Management, HRTech, Leadership and Teams. We are always early in noticing trends, technologies, strategies and organizations that shape the future, which has its ups and downs.
🎯 Your mission
To define the characteristics of this program, we are looking for ambitious individuals (bachloe/master thesis) or an ambitious project study team, that will find a way to harness data and information of the internet and integrate it in a way that enables an almost real-time overview of which startups are being funded in which areas.

- Prepare: a) thesis/project study report b) Powerpoint slides on the topic of your thesis/project study c) Infograph that contains most important results
