Funding acquisition
Many startups are unaware of the numerous funding programs that offer financial support. We help you navigate the complex funding landscape and identify the right programs for your startup. From government grants to specialized startup funds – we show you the available options and assist you with the application process.
Co-founder search
We connect stakeholders from business, science, and government with innovative startups and changemakers. Through our targeted networking, partnerships are formed that set sustainable economic and social impulses.


Co-founder search
A strong founding team is key to success. However, finding the right co-founder can be a challenge. We help you find suitable co-founders with the right skills, shared vision, and compatible working styles. Through our network and targeted matching, we make it easier for you to find your perfect sparring partner.

Go-to-market strategy
An innovative product alone is not enough – market entry must be strategically planned. We help you develop a well-thought-out go-to-market strategy that reaches your target audience and maximizes your market opportunities. Whether it’s positioning, sales channels, or acquiring your first customers – we guide you on the path to successful scaling.
Matchmaking with corporates
Startups are drivers of innovation and digitalization – while companies provide the necessary infrastructure and scaling opportunities. We bring both sides together with public institutions to initiate sustainable collaborations, develop new solutions, and strengthen innovation power.
