Connecting the best academic startups from Berlin universities with venture capital.

Our Science & Startups Portfolio Day brings together the most exciting academic startups from Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin with partners from our venture capital network.

We had a blast in the last year with our best startup founders as well as 50 investors from all over Germany at our first (of hopefully many) Science & Startups Portfolio Day. Let’s hope we’ll meet again in 2023 – and this time, in person!

Last Portfolio Day, the investors had the chance to meet more than 40 academic startups in different development stages. All were or are incubated at one of our network partners within the last 5 years and were carefully selected for this event to showcase the massive potential of academic start-ups. The selected teams presented their innovative solutions from four sectors:

• Digital Health
• Material Science (incl. Chemistry and Pharma)
• Sustainable City
• SaaS & Enterprise Software

In addition to start-up pitches, there were numerous opportunities for exchange and networking: Investors and start-ups met at virtual booths, arranged 1:1 meetings or participated in one of the roundtables to exchange ideas with colleagues from the investment world and benefit from each other’s knowledge and experience.

We thank all the startups and investors for a day full of inspiration and networking!
