Free office for one year @ Collective Incubator
Workspace
We support startup teams with free permanent offices in the early stages until they can afford to rent in the traditional office market. The office space is allocated for a maximum of one year.
Start-ups with a legal form receive the office as so-called de minimis funding, there are no "real" costs. Otherwise, the office is for free. Please see the links below for further information.
Since we tend to have larger offices in the Collective Incubator, at least two teams share an office.

Funding

One option when starting a company is to grow slow and steady using only your own financial resources. However, if you want or need external funding, there are various opportunities like government grants which can especially help in the initial phases before the startup is even founded. More traditional possibilities are bank loans, e.g. from the KfW or regional promotional banks. The community also has a strong network of private investors (Business Angels) as well as Venture Capital investors.
The collaeb community is here to assist you in identifying the most suitable funding model for your venture and to facilitate connections with the appropriate partners.
