Survey Basics für Start-ups

This online workshop will be held in German.

Von der richtigen Frage zur fundierten Entscheidung – praxisnaher Workshop zur Umfragegestaltung für Gründer:innen

Viele Start-ups und Gründungsinteressierte führen Umfragen durch, um Interesse am Produkt zu testen, Feedback zu sammeln oder die Zahlungsbereitschaft potenzieller Kund:innen einzuschätzen. Doch schon kleine Fehler im Design können Ergebnisse verzerren und Daten unbrauchbar machen.

In diesem Workshop lernst du Umfragen konzepierst und gestaltest:

Welche Fragen willst du mit deiner Umfrage beantworten?
Welche Umfrageform passt zu deinem Vorhaben?
Wie formulierst du klare und aussagekräftige Fragen?
Wie vermeidest du Verzerrungen durch Beeinflussung?
Wann gilt eine Umfrage als „repräsentativ“?

Du erhältst praxisnahe Grundlagen, um eigene Umfragen sicher zu planen und typische Fehler von Anfang an zu vermeiden.

Für die Teilnahme brauchst du keine Vorkenntnisse.

Dieser Workshop wird gemeinsam mit dem Businessplan-Wettbewerb Berlin-Brandenburg (BPW) durchgeführt.

Wo: online

Wann: Dienstag, 08.06., 14:45-17:45 Uhr
