How did you learn about START Vienna?

We would like to know more about you and your motivation to join START (max. number of characters 800 each) Good to know: we care a lot about the following questions. They will be the main part of how we evaluate your application!

What motivates you to become part of START Vienna, and how does it align with your personal and professional goals?

Tell us about two hard skills you have and are proud of. Please include a short example of where you applied each skill.
Also, what is one hard skill you are currently trying to learn or improve, and why?

If you had to build a startup tomorrow, in what area would you build and why?
It does not matter if you currently have the skills. The more specific, the better.

Name three qualities your friends would use to describe you and briefly explain why.

What is something that currently scares you or pushes you outside your comfort zone, but that you would like to get better at?

Imagine it is one year from now and you have been part of START. What have you changed or achieved with our help?
