New in at NMA: four Startups foster Media Innovation
Meet the teams of the NMA Batch 12
The future is now: acceleration and investing into promising teams to foster digital transformation is more important than ever. The next media accelerator (NMA) welcomes four innovation-driven startups into its acceleration program: Hype1000, Medieninsider, Scriptbakery and WhoCanShoot.
As always in the NMA portfolio, the range of technologies is broad — spanning from all-in-one audio solutions for corporates to a market network helping in hiring creators. This time however, the teams got one thing in common: they are from Germany.
NMA Managing Partner Christoph Hüning explains the novelty: “This time we received many strong applications from Germany, so it naturally became an all-German batch. The diverse founders get to foster innovation from their home base. In the EU Projects STADIEM and MediaFutures, the NMA supports and accelerates European teams more than ever.”
NMA Program Manager Julia Mandíl adds, “We are looking forward to working with the teams in a very unique time: We kick off remotely and will hopefully be able to switch to hybrid work with more presence in summer.”
Hype 1000 is an audio technology startup focusing on corporate audio and voice. With HYPECAST they have developed an all-in-one corporate podcast solution to easily and securely distribute corporate podcasts — always to the right audience!
Medieninsider is an exclusive digital magazine covering the national and international media scene, focussing on digital transformation.
Scriptbakery is a software that digitizes the acceptance, management and analysis of all sorts of written and audio content.
WhoCanShoot is a market network to hire creators and collaborate on creative projects like photo, video and illustration productions.
