Founder stories

In our collaboration with hubraum, we have found an appropriate partner to advance to our next stage with. Our partnership with hubraum goes beyond that of a mere investment — it represents a strategic collaboration that will connect us with the right people and help us to become a major player in the market.
Miriam Mertens
Co-founder/CEO of DeepSkill
MATSUKO's mission is to imbue remote communication with a sense of physical presence and in doing so, to create the closest alternative to face-to-face meetings. Our partnership with hubraum and other leading telcos is crucial for enhancing our user experience and the quality of service. Together with these telcos, we are preparing the service to be interoperable and integrated with several devices and services.  More specifically, the 5G network APIs we've had access to at hubraum have improved our user experience. Real-time streaming requires a high resolution, which in turn demands stable bandwidth — even when we have heavy traffic, we needed to guarantee a high frame rate to be able to see the facial expressions of the hologram clearly, and a low latency in order to interact in real time and thus supply a feeling of presence.
Maria Vircikova,
CEO MATSUKO 
Hubraum is a great partner — they champion us relentlessly, something which leads to us working smoothly with Deutsche Telekom. Whenever you have an idea of how they can be helpful they will go to great lengths to make it happen. They’re a 10/10 founder-friendly team.

Its commitment to supporting innovative ideas and businesses is what sets them apart as a valuable partner in the startup community.
