From Newcomer to Founder
You moved to Germany to start your business, just to realize that you're in for a wild ride of bureaucracy, tax and legal topics that you can't even pronounce. Sounds familiar?
This is exactly what Shruti Kuber did. She moved to Germany, co-founded CapitalSnapshot, a fintech company, set up a holding structure, and dealt with everything that comes with it. Notar, Handelsregister, Finanzamt, bank accounts, runway planning, the full experience.
Was it smooth? Not exactly.
In this session, Shruti shares her personal story. Not as an expert, but as a founder who went through it and figured things out along the way. What surprised her, what frustrated her, what she'd do differently, and what actually helped.
If you're currently starting a company in Germany, thinking about it, or just curious what the journey really looks like for founders with migrant background, this conversation is for you.
