Apply now for the HHL Startup Consulting Days
HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management and McKinsey & Company are organizing a two-day workshop that will give you both the opportunity to take on the role of a consultant as well as the work of a startup while learning more about HHL and its Master in Management programs. In a team of 4-5 students, you will advise the founding team of JawBuddy, a digital health startup and develop recommendations for the future scaling of the company. You will be supported by experienced McKinsey consultants who have studied at HHL themselves. At the end, you will present the results to the founders, our alumni and an HHL team of professors and staff.
Take this opportunity to meet with representatives of McKinsey, HHL professors, alumni and current students and inform yourself about the study opportunities at HHL and the entry into top management consulting in a relaxed setting.
The event will take place on site at the HHL campus in Leipzig. The overnight stay in Leipzig and the complete catering during the 2-day workshop will be provided.
Founders´ Team, JawBuddy
Startup
We are participating in the HHL Startup Consulting Days because we are currently working on refining our marketing strategy and go-to-market approach. The event format offers a valuable opportunity to challenge our positioning, messaging, and customer acquisition strategy with an external, structured perspective.
