Our Purpose
Mission Partners
Organisations who share our mission and support us in building Munich's next generation of founders.
The Münchner Technologiezentrum provides office space, business coaching, and networking for young tech companies near Olympic Park — helping startups grow from first idea to market.
Munich's official startup portal connecting founders with resources, investors, and the local ecosystem — mapping the city's innovation landscape and amplifying its startup scene.
CDTM and Manage & More share our mission in empowering the next generation of founders in Munich. However START Munich and CDTM / M&M differ. We are a community that encourages learning by doing, while they are educational programs that provide structured curriculum. Some of our members also join CDTM or M&M, but handling the intensive time commitment for both is challenging.
