Media Startup Fellowship
We Support Startups in Developing Innovative Digital Media Products
The media industry, while being fundamental
in a democratic society, has
long struggled with successful digital
transformation. With the Media
Startup Fellowship, we hope to both
provide startup solutions to established
companies, while also supporting
new, digital media ideas with entering
the market and becoming sustainable
businesses themselves.
We support technological innovation
(i.e. new tools or gadgets) as well as innovation
in formats, business models
and target audiences. After extensive
coaching in everything from Business
Development to Law, we help our
startups to find the right customers
and revenue streams, and to gain a
footing in the media industry.
