What our alumni say
Andreas Michalski, CI HUB (Co-Founder & CEO)
“For CI HUB GmbH, the MTH Accelerator was a real moment of happiness. When we started CI HUB, MTH not only provided us with a great space, but also accompanied us through the steps from idea to investment. The program helped us a lot in sparring with experienced founders and sparring partners to align ourselves properly, learn to pitch, build a deck, and most importantly… meet the right people. If I were to start up again, I would try again to get a place at MTH. And the people are great, a really special thanks to Erdinç for everything.”
Benjamin Heese, Sensit! GmbH (Co-Founder & CEO)
“As one of the first MTH startups, I am super proud to have been able to actively experience the development of the MTH. When we founded 5 years ago, MTH was the contact point for us that prepared us realistically for the VC world. We were allowed to learn to think bigger and, as a neutral contact person, the finger was put firmly in the wound during coaching. This was the basis for our continued success, also in fundraising. I still go jogging with Erdinç regularly and discuss investment topics.”
Jerome Lange, koppla (Co-Founder & CEO)
“The MTH Accelerator was a real game changer for us. It not only prepared us realistically for the challenges of the first financing round, but also significantly improved our skills in creating the first deck and approaching investors in the right way. The large network of VCs and business angels was a huge help and the personal coaching during the ongoing financing round gave us the right hands-on tools to convince with confidence and clarity.”
Markus Cremer, SongPush (Co-Founder & CEO)
“The MTH Accelerator helped us ideally in the earliest phase of our startup with network & contacts, on the one hand with intros to VC’s & Angels, but also to our VC law firm, with whom we still enjoy working today!”
