On 1 December, the MediaTech Hub Accelerator officially opened its new cohort – and with it, the new Bootstrap & Seedstrap Programme, which now supports early-stage founding teams even more effectively on their path towards a market-ready product. During the kick-off event at the MTH Space at UFA, founders from Brandenburg, Berlin and beyond came together to launch the programme and make their first connections.
After a welcome address from our Managing Director, Katja Richter, and Head of Accelerator, Erdinç Koç, all startups from the new cohort introduced themselves in a joint pitch session. The evening offered a compact overview of the diverse landscape of current MediaTech and technology ventures: from AI infrastructure to genomics, edtech, games, legaltech, communication technologies and creative content solutions.
This year’s startups at a glance:
- Genum – AI infrastructure
- Graphrs – Media & video production
- GreenGate Genomics – Genomics & biotech
- kisszu – EdTech & MedTech
- Lake System – Games & film technology
- Lexi – AI legaltech for music and rights management
- Messpunkt.io – Real estate management & digital administration
- Museful – CulTech & sustainable nutrition
- narraltiv – MediaTech / AI for communication
Afterwards, the teams presented first insights into their products, business models and technological approaches. The breadth of both the Investment Readiness Programme and the Bootstrap & Seedstrap Programme became particularly clear: both combine intensive coaching with a structured programme flow, peer learning and direct access to investors and networks within the MediaTech Hub Potsdam ecosystem.
The evening concluded with informal networking, where initial collaboration ideas and mentoring opportunities already began to take shape. For the MediaTech Hub Potsdam team, the kick-off marks the beginning of several intensive months in which the startups will develop, refine and advance their next steps.
