You have a technological idea, a motivated team – but no fixed roadmap yet? Then Xplore Freerider is the right program for you! The customizable entry into the UnternehmerTUM ecosystem supports founders in the early stage with maximum flexibility, personal coaching, and a modular learning approach.
Unlike other programs, you can apply anytime – and start immediately after successful admission. In the onboarding session, you get an overview of all modules and next steps. The upcoming Jumpstart onboarding sessions take place on May 5, June 12, and July 10, 2025.
Startup support on your schedule
Freerider works on the principle: as much as needed, as individual as possible.
You choose from five practice-oriented modules:
- Customer Discovery
- Business Creation
- Legal & Finance
- PowerUp Skills
- PowerUp Team
The modules build on each other but can be flexibly combined. Live online training, individual feedback, and practical coaching sessions help you make progress step by step – from your first value proposition to a well-founded MVP.
Active and engaged teams also get the chance to qualify for the exclusive Pitch & Polish event – an on-site coaching session with investor feedback and pitch training.
Who is Xplore Freerider right for?
The program is aimed at founder teams that:
- have at least two members,
- are developing a technological solution,
- have identified a relevant problem scenario,
- want to develop their idea in a market-oriented way.
You have great ideas – Freerider gives you the space to pursue them flexibly and autonomously. Present your team and your idea – with pitch deck, one-pager, and video. Xplore Freerider is always open for applications. Your path into the UnternehmerTUM startup ecosystem begins exactly when you’re ready.
