A ROCKSTARS STAGE FOR BATCH 6
#media #tech #startups #accelerator #graduation #DemoDay #Batch6
As our NMA family grows, things just keep on getting better and more exciting! We can promise you that we are still the same, just maybe more experienced 😉.
As a matter of fact, we went from hosting our first Demo Day ever on the ground floor at the coworking space Betahaus back in winter 2015 to hosting our sixth Demo Day in pounding nightspot and famous music venue, the Knust, in June 2018.
New Team Member
The show started with a few announcements for the community. First of all, a warm welcome to our new team member Christoph Hüning, now managing partner of NMA along with Nico Lumma and Meinolf Ellers.
First Exit to Xing
The show continued with the second announcement of the evening: Our very first exit 👏. If you still don’t know the details about the acquisition of our startup asap.industries (batch 5) by our Innovation as a Service Partner, Xing, we recommend you this blog post.
Contentflow & the USA market
Our first Media Match NYC Edition took place also last month. We succeeded in bringing together a strong community of media innovators and VCs in USA and Europe. Following Media Match, our startup Contentflow (batch 5) joined us on stage and presented their plan to skyrocket in US.
