The Media­Tech Hub Acce­le­ra­tor is the spar­ring part­ner for start­ups in the ear­ly stages. We are tech-dri­­ven and think across sec­tors. A look at our port­fo­lio shows what we mean by this. One part can be assi­gned to the are­as of film, music, sto­rytel­ling or fashion, the other part includes sec­tors such as con­s­truc­tion, Indus­try 4.0, food tech, digi­tal health or smart government.

Our goal, tog­e­ther with the initia­tors Uni­ver­si­ty of Pots­dam, Has­so Platt­ner Insti­tu­te and Film Uni­ver­si­ty Babels­berg KON­RAD WOLF, is to offer teams an indi­vi­du­al­ly tail­o­red post-foun­­ding pro­gram. At the same time, we want to streng­then the start­up eco­sys­tem in Pots­dam and Bran­den­burg through our exper­ti­se and community.

Ear­­ly-stage start­ups are given the oppor­tu­ni­ty to fur­ther deve­lop their busi­ness models, build their own valuable net­works and acqui­re skills in pit­ching, marketing/​​PR, sales, HR/​​recruiting, go-to-mar­ket, UX/UI, legal and tax issues and fund­rai­sing.

Sin­ce our launch in 2019, around 40 teams have been added to the port­fo­lio, rai­sing around €22 mil­li­on in fund­rai­sing. Most important and valuable, howe­ver, is our com­mu­ni­ty: around 70 foun­ders are part of the MTH Acce­le­ra­tor. Their know­ledge and sup­port helps all new teams.

Start­ups, agen­ci­es or other com­pa­nies with an inno­va­ti­ve cha­rac­ter are in good hands in Bran­den­burg and the metro­po­li­tan regi­on. The net­work is very clo­se and the oppor­tu­ni­ties for fun­ding pro­grams are very good. Many of the­se part­ners come tog­e­ther in the MTH Accelerator.
