Maria Zoey Sommer
Innovation, Cphbusiness, Denmark
Maria Zoey Sommer was an entrepreneur 2005-2010 and then part of other startups, before she started teaching entrepreneurship within the Bachelor’s Degree Program Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Copenhagen Business Academy in August 2015, using the highly acknowledged framework from MIT “Disciplined Entrepreneurship – 24 Steps to a Successful Startup” by Bill Aulet. It is the framework Maria wish she had had, when she started her own company, and she is thus on a mission of bringing the method to as many entrepreneurs as possible to help increasing the number of startups that will succeed.
Maria is also project manager of "Data driven business development in Startups", with focus on helping startups scale.
Maria is very critical to the market validation, because startups have a tendency of launching based on very little confirmation from the market.
