Build It Up

Build It Up is a multi-university, non-profit association founded in 2012 that fills the gap between ambitious students and early-stage startups. In 14 years, we have worked with 100+ startups through hands-on projects such as go-to-market strategy, process automation, outreach and fundraising support. •⁠ ⁠For students: you join a project team, work directly on a startup's real challenge, and own a concrete deliverable from start to finish. •⁠ ⁠For startups: free, structured support from a motivated team of students who dig into your problem and deliver actionable work. Beyond the projects, we organize events, hackathons, and workshops that bring together students, founders, and investors across the ecosystem.
