Our Ecosystem

We see ourselves as bridge-builders and the voice of the migrant founder community in Germany. For international founders, networks are key – yet starting out in a new country often means lacking the contacts that are crucial for entrepreneurial success.

That’s why we are building a strong and diverse network: connecting founders with the right people and tailored support, while partnering with institutions and allies who share our vision of an inclusive startup ecosystem where barriers are broken down. Through these connections, we empower founders to thrive and help shape a more equitable environment for all entrepreneurs.

Regional & National Startup Ecosystems

We connect founders with local players such as accelerators, companies, universities, and other supporters who then help them integrate into regional startup communities across Germany.

Partnering with us: Collaborate to provide access to local networks, share expertise and explore new approaches together for working successfully with international founders.
