About
Startup School helps turn knowledge into practical decisions at work, in business and in everyday life. Our approach centres on people, their professional skills and their ability to use new tools thoughtfully.

Current programmes in AI-assisted marketing, entrepreneurship, food-service management, and practical assistant cook, cook and bartender skills.
More than an answer. A considered decision.
Augmented thinking is our educational starting point: combine knowledge, experience, critical evaluation and suitable tools. AI can contribute to the work, but people remain responsible for checking results and making decisions.
Goal
What problem are we solving, and what would a good result look like?
Context
What facts, constraints and professional knowledge do we need?
Options
What solutions are available, and where could a tool help?
Verification
What is supported, where could we be wrong, and what is still unknown?
Decision
What do we choose, who is responsible, and how will we evaluate the result?

Languages and communication

Technology in service of people
We do not promise that one tool can solve every problem. Knowledge, independent work, verification and respect for confidential information remain essential to professional practice.
We learn to use tools to understand problems better. And we learn to think so that we can use tools more responsibly.
