For Startups

Building and growing a company is hard. However, doing so alongside other founders and teams, can make a huge difference in a startup’s journey.

This is why we believe in the power of community as a business lever. Our international startup community is one of the largest in Germany. Through our Accelerators, programs and coworking space, we connect startups with business leaders and other founders and make starting something easier.

Access to a Strong Network

According to a report by Startup Genome, startups that are part of a strong network raise 7 times more capital and are 3.5 times more likely to grow into large-scale businesses than those outside such networks. With our programs and member-only events, we can give you access to new connections and possibilities.

More Visibility & Credibility

Startups in strong communities are 30% more likely to gain media attention and are 25% more likely to attract high-profile partnerships. This can significantly boost a startup’s growth trajectory.

Collaboration for Innovation

A study from the Harvard Business Review found that startups in collaborative communities are 24% more likely to develop innovative products and services. Moreover, 50% of these startups reported higher levels of creativity and problem-solving capabilities, thanks to the diverse input from community members.
