ABOUT STARTPLATZ

Focus Topic for Batch #26

In addition to supporting startups with digital business models, we also have another focus topic this year: STARTPLATZ goes Web 3.0, NFT, Metaverse

Around the world, platforms and ecosystems are increasingly defining the rules of digital business. For several years now, the next evolutionary stage of digital business models and technologies has been accelerating: Web 3.0, NFT, Metaverse and platforms. In Web 3.0, ownership and control are largely decentralized and orchestrated with tokens. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and Metaverse also fall into this context. NFTs open up exciting opportunities for new business approaches through the new securitization possibilities of digital and tangible items and assets in both B2C and B2B. The

Metaverse offers new touchpoints and spaces for existing business models to be implemented in 3D interaction spaces.

In the Startup Accelerator program, we combine expertise from digital business models, Web 3.0, NFTs and Metaverse with our large STARTPLATZ network and thereby aim to support startups from various digital fields. Both startups with a digital business model in general and startups that focus specifically on these topics are in good hands with us and can benefit from the broad expertise of our ecosystem.

Our program is going hybrid!

Back to our roots.

After two years of remote accelerating, we are hosting our next Accelerator batch at STARTPLATZ Cologne and Düsseldorf.

TESTIMONIALS

What our alumni say about us

Dr. Med. Alice Martin, COO of dermanostic

Benjamin Dammertz, CEO of FoxBase

Manuel Born, Co-Founder at payactive

"STARTPLATZ has strongly supported us as a medical company in the installation and planning as well as the network. We have received extensive knowledge in the area of PR as well as organizational structure. The community at STARTPLATZ is supportive, familial and network-oriented. A perfect start for every start-up."

"The STARTPLATZ Accelerator was extremely helpful for us in the initial phase. The program was well-structured, and competent speakers always provided relevant input. Especially the strong network and the corresponding contacts to corporates, investors, but also to fellow founders were of great value."

"payactive was accepted into STARTPLATZ in 2020. This was an important and helpful step for the founding team, as linking up with companies and the local start-up scene helped payactive to acquire its first customers. The trainings and coachings were also very good and helped to lay the foundation for the establishment of the company."
