JUNI Team-Up Challenge (Application deadline 14 June 2026)

JUNI Team-Up Challenge

6 weeks hybrid Program → Starting July 2026 / Strictly Limited

Great technology is only half the battle. Most deeptech projects stall not because the science fails, but because they lack the “founder stack”: a balanced team, a validated market entry and the narrative required for high-stakes funding.

The JUNI Team-Up Challenge bridges the gap:

The talent gap: We dissolve the “silo” between the lab and the market by matching PhDs and researchers with battle-hardened operators and ambitious builders.
The validation gap: We move you past “lab perfection” toward radical MVP validation through expert feedback loops and direct customer discovery.
The funding gap: We de-risk your venture from day one, aligning your milestones with the specific requirements of Germany’s EXIST startup grant and future VC expectations.
