BUSINESS CLINICS
A COLLABORATION WITH THE BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP
We take active part in the journey of start-ups of the Impact Hub Munich and constantly evolve our support structure. Together with The Boston Consulting Group and the Impact Hubs in Vienna and Berlin, we developed a Business Clinics Program for the impact-first start-ups in our community. After two successful rounds of the Business Clinics, we are now launching the third round of this program.
The Business Clinics is a three months sparring program for impact-first start-ups to support them in lifting their business and strategy to the next level. The start-ups enter with a specific challenge that they want to focus on during the program.
The program consists of three meetings (one per month) for each start-up with a team of two dedicated BCG consultants. During the meetings, the consultants will intensively work together with the start-ups on a predefined business related topic and will help them monitor their progress. In between the meetings, the start-ups will commit to work on these topics. The BCG consultants will be matched to the teams according to the team’s needs.
Start-ups have the opportunity to apply here from September 14th until October 21st 2018.
Application criteria
- Impact Hub Member
- Prototype, MVP built or first steps into market done
- A clear impact-first focus
- Clear need for advice
- Commitment to participate in all three meetings
The third Business Clinic will start in November 2018. The program language can be both in German and English.
Start-ups have the opportunity to apply until October 21st 2018.

Wir starten mit einer Kollektion von Stiften, welche aus bestem natürlichen Grafit, umschlossen von Recyclinggarnen, Naturfasern, Textilabfällen und unserem selbst gekochten Biopolymer bestehen. Natürliche Unikate, die schöne Geschichten zu erzählen wissen, und aus Abfällen neue relevante Werte schaffen. Damit ihr Nutzen ein Genuss ist, Menschen in fairem Handel arbeiten können, viele noch bessere Ideen entstehen, und das Atmen von sauberer Luft kein Luxus wird.

Kuchentratsch ist Anlaufstelle und Backstube zugleich. Wir bieten SeniorInnen die Möglichkeit zu kommunikativem Austausch beim gemeinsamen Kuchenbacken und zu verstärkter gesellschaftlicher Integration. Bei der Aktivierung der SeniorInnen entsteht auch noch köstliches Backwerk nach Omas Rezepten, das die Tasse Kaffee noch besser schmecken lässt, die Mittagspause genussvoll abrundet und Erinnerungen an das ein oder andere Familienrezept weckt.

"Noch 28 mal schlafen, dann kommt Papa wieder!"
Flechtwerk 2+1 gemeinnützige GmbH - Für Kinder mit zwei Elternhäusern!
Die bundesweit einmalige Sozialinitiative "mein papa kommt" ist das Kernprojekt der „Flechtwerk 2+1 gemeinnützigen GmbH“, einem Sozialunternehmen, dass Kindern mit zwei Elternhäusern und deren Eltern hilft, das Abenteuer Familie zu gestalten. "mein papa kommt" reagiert zeitgemäß auf familienpolitische Herausforderungen, indem es beide Elternhäuser des Kindes in den Blick nimmt. Kinder und getrennt lebende Eltern brauchen stabile Bindungen und die Gewissheit, dass jeder von ihnen auch weiterhin in das Beziehungsgeflecht einer tragenden Gemeinschaft eingebunden ist.
Die Initiative „mein papa kommt“ vermittelt bundesweit bürgerschaftlich engagierte Gastgeber, die kostenfreie Übernachtungszimmer für Väter oder Mütter anbieten, deren Kinder nach einer Trennung oder Scheidung in einer anderen Stadt leben.

Fairfactia a full-service agency offering ethical trade solutions from India to European textile retailers.
We bridge ethical with trade. We accompany the retailer from sourcing to business processes and throughout the entire production cycle. At the same time, we close social audit gaps and create participatory CSR programs to raise working standards. Our in-house team in India of production and CSR managers work with local insight and solutions to ensure quality and deadline agreements are met as well as close social audit gaps and execute participatory CSR programs - working towards the creation of model factories.
After a successful pilot with a major children's wear retailer, we are looking to expand.

As a very young brand of footwear shoemates® wants to establish itself in the area of "Social Business for shoes" and represent a high-quality and fashionable product. For every pair of shoemates® sold we guarantee that at the same time one pair of shoes will be donated to a school child in Afghanistan, whose family cannot afford to buy shoes. The donated shoes are produced in Afghanistan to strengthen the local economy and to guarantee a simple and targeted distribution of the donated shoes. To ensure this, we work with small local organizations, which have specialized in the distribution of material goods in remote areas in Afghanistan. The business concept of shoemates® therefor is: "GET ONE, GIVE ONE".
