Start2Go

Working together strengthens prestarters in their start-up process, as shown by both studies and service providers. Collaboration can take various forms: from seeking advice from/being coached by an organisation/expert to starting a business together as a team of founders. As a prestarter, it is important to know the various options. In some sectors (usually creative and IT) prestarters are already being coached in a very intensive way to start collaborating. In most sectors, however, that support is (very) limited. Service providers of prestarters indicate that there is a need for a method to inspire and support prestarters in the question of whether they want to take their entrepreneurial path alone or together. A lot depends on how a prestarter's mindset (open or closed) is towards working together and partnering together. In our methodology we speak of Behavior Design to see how prestarters behave and then to see how and what can possibly change, how we can trigger them and give them the opportunity to start together. There are various factors that play a role in facilitating those possibilities, which are the subject of the research phase. How can prestarters (as the final target group or via intermediaries) be inspired by the added value of starting a business together?
