Why using the TUM Incubator is worth it is explained by our founders:

Through the TUM Incubator, we were not only able to enjoy the great working atmosphere and take our first entrepreneurial steps, but also build a network to many exciting start-ups, where we still exchange a lot and help each other out today.

The TUM Incubator is a place that has helped droov.io take the first steps towards start-up and operations. The entrepreneurial atmosphere, which includes the startup network, the workspace and the digital tools, has allowed us to get results faster and ultimately to approach the process with much more fun.

Joining the TUM Incubator was one of the best decisions we made on our startup journey. The regular events and meetings with mentors and other start-ups helped us grow, network and have meaningful conversations that led to amazing ideas on how to move forward. The TUM Incubator makes the start-up journey a little more fun and a little less stressful.
