“The Startup Scouting Masterclass provided practical insights that helped me refine our scouting approach at Oetker Digital. Learning from other startup scouts and discussing tools and databases were particularly valuable, allowing me to benchmark and enhance our own setup. Understanding different approaches to internal, external, and hybrid scouting setups created a new perspective for us. The focus on peer learning and real-world applications made the experience both useful and engaging. I recommend it to anyone looking to improve their startup scouting process.”

— Dominik Welslau, Venture Clienting, Oetker Digital GmbH
