“Our journey with hubraum has been nothing short of amazing! hubraum truly cares about its startups’ success. Its commitment to supporting innovative ideas and businesses is what sets them apart as a valuable partner in the startup community. We had so much fun during the AR scavenger hunt at the hubraum campus during the 10th anniversary. Besides this, we also had the opportunity to demonstrate our products in Bonn. These events have been so helpful for us for collecting leads, meeting investors, and networking with fellow entrepreneurs.”

“Our collaboration with hubraum of Deutsche Telekom has proven to be a crucial factor in our success. Thanks to the dedicated support of the hubraum team, we were able to establish valuable connections with key individuals within Telekom, enabling POCs, user tests, and laying the groundwork for future collaborations. The provision of office space and invitations to high-profile events such as the Startupnight in Berlin and the MWC in Barcelona, where we are privileged to showcase family.cards at the hubraum booth, has significantly enhanced our reach and visibility. This partnership has not only propelled our product development forward but also positioned us uniquely to introduce family.cards to a global audience.”
