Founding a startup from a university context comes with unique legal challenges — from IP and shareholder structures to financing and governance. Knowing what to watch out for early can make all the difference.

🎙 Expert Insights from Practice
We are pleased to welcome Dr. Leonid Guggenberger and Andreas Kühnart, who will share practical insights on the most common legal pitfalls university startups face, and how founders can proactively avoid them.

⏰ Doors open 17:45 | Start 18:00
📍 Hybrid format: in-person at LMU IEC & online via Zoom
🌍 Language: English

After the session, participants are invited to stay for networking, accompanied by snacks and drinks — a chance to continue the conversation, exchange experiences, and connect with fellow founders and the Munich innovation ecosystem.
