Venture Wizards' Role in Supporting the Film University

Venture Wizards supports Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf at the intersection of technology and the creative industries, as well as in startup development. This includes startup consulting, coaching, and workshops, such as "How to Build an Online Portfolio."

How to Build an Online Portfolio – Workshop Overview

The "How to Build an Online Portfolio" workshop was designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills needed to create a professional online portfolio. This key tool serves as both a digital business card and a platform to showcase work and expertise to potential employers and clients.

The workshop began with an introduction to the fundamentals of portfolio creation, covering:

• Choosing the right platform
• Design principles that reflect personal branding and professional style
• Structuring the portfolio effectively to highlight the most impactful work

Participants also received practical tips on optimizing content for different industries, including:

• Quality over quantity – selecting works that best showcase skills and versatility
• Creating engaging descriptions to provide context for each project
• Using strategic keywords to improve search engine visibility

A major hands-on component of the workshop allowed participants to apply their learning immediately, working on their own portfolios during the session.
