In a startup, there is always something new to learn. New goals are to be achieved, new challenges to be mastered. But what is the best way to approach this? Where can one find reliable expert knowledge, support, assistance, and indispensable contacts? Our recommendation: participate in an accelerator program. After gaining invaluable experience at the Lübeck accelerator program Gateway49, we have now successfully joined the Summer Batch 2024 of AI.STARTUP.HUB Hamburg.
The AI.STARTUP.HUB offers excellent support to (aspiring) AI founders and their teams throughout all development phases. From ideation to internationalization – every team here has the opportunity to learn from the best in the industry.
To cater to as many teams and development stages as possible, the AI.STARTUP.HUB offers two different programs: The AI Accelerator Program for already established startups and the AI Ideation Program for teams that aim to launch successfully and bring an innovative idea.
The AI.STARTUP HUB Hamburg is a safe haven for all who are ready to actively contribute and develop further. The Hub is a joint project of Hamburg Innovation GmbH and the Artificial Intelligence Center Hamburg (ARIC) e. V. and is implemented together with partners Exponential Innovation Institute (Exii), Machine Learning in Engineering (MLE) of Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), and German Entrepreneurship. Such a concentration of expertise in one format is a boon for any startup.
Besides coaching and mentoring, one factor was particularly crucial for our participation: the exchange with other teams from the industry. The value of broadening one’s perspective should not be underestimated. Therefore, we are especially looking forward to sharing both our successes and our failures with the other teams, thus learning from and with each other.
Our six-month journey has now begun with the kickoff on April 9 at the new location at Sandtorkai in Hamburg. It was a fitting start with a total of 17 exciting pitches in an incredibly relaxed and constructive atmosphere. We are enthusiastic about the other teams and the mentors and very proud of this further milestone on our journey.
