The coaching team of the Startup Incubator Berlin, external consultants, mentors from the HWR Berlin as well as sponsors of the large partner network of companies, public institutions and associations support the teams. There are also special training offers and regular events such as UX testing, investment pitches, diversity formats and co-founder matching.
