First-Class Mentoring

Decision-makers from our network are available to provide you with advice and assistance, e.g. from medicine, healthcare, IT, legal advice, marketing, investors, MedTech & science.

Individual Coaching

Our startup managers are the sparring partners for your ideas. They know the inpatient and outpatient health sector and ask the questions that really help you move forward.

Networking

You are less alone together. We ensure exchange between startups in the batch, with the startup community and with our network of shareholders and cooperation partners.

Infrastructure

We offer a coworking space in Osnabrück, which you share with the other startups from the batch, as well as a meeting room for your appointments. We also have a water and coffee flat.

Investor Readiness Check

We make you investor-ready and put you in touch with potential investors from our network and beyond.

Science and Practice

Getting a good idea in healthcare off the ground requires both. That is why we offer you a direct connection to Osnabrück University and the University of Applied Sciences, in particular to the Health Campus.

Medical Device Certification

Through our cooperation with various consultants, we offer you support to bring your medical device to market.
