The Seedhouse brought us into contact with the agricultural sector. To this day, we benefit from the network and the reputation that a Seedhouse start-up enjoys beyond the borders of Germany.
Florian Stark | AgraCheck
An open-minded team that quickly understood the technical USP of our product and was able to scale the idea behind it.
Christian Klein | UMYNO
The Seedhouse impressively demonstrates the potential of co-operations. It combines the creative dynamism of start-ups with the in-depth expertise of medium-sized companies, creating an excellent breeding ground for innovation.
Thormin Stiegler | Thorkas
What we have in common with the Seedhouse is a hands-on mentality that is typical of agriculture and even transcends the cultural differences between northern and southern Germany. Here, we don't just talk, we tackle things - with Nordic vigour and southern German thoroughness. Together, we are not only making the fields greener, but also our food production more sustainable!
Robin Mink | SAM Dimension
It is incredibly motivating to see the astonished faces when we present Pyx AI. It shows us that we have created a solution to a problem that many companies were not even aware of.
Stavros Kyriakidis | Pyx AI
The Seedhouse Accelerator was an outstanding support during our critical initial phase. Thanks to its expertise and targeted networking, we felt optimally supported at all times. The ability to draw on these resources at any time is invaluable to us.
Marco Ries | Protein Distillery
With the Seedhouse, we combine two of our most important values: entrepreneurship and down-to-earthness.
Thorsten Lansmann-Niehaus | Stallgrün
The Seedhouse was a great help to us in starting the company, especially in setting up our infrastructure. The coffee there was very good, the office container sometimes a bit cold;-) But there were lots of great people around us who all think in the same direction: to change things for the better.
Lasse Polsfuss | Pflanzentheke
Even before the official batch was launched, we were already talking to various shareholders about partnerships - what a network!
Jonas Wendt | OURZ
Thanks to the Seedhouse, we were able to deepen our basic knowledge of the start-up industry in 2022 and, above all, gain industry-specific contacts and food support. We still enjoy coming to the Seedhouse events and Florian Stöhr in particular is always a good contact for food and agriculture!
Sarah Theresa Schulte | AllCup
I associate the Seedhouse with uncomplicated cooperation at eye level - regardless of whether the person comes from a start-up, the management of a large company or is otherwise involved in the Seedhouse. Annual highlight: innovate!
Tim Paulke | Nunos
We are delighted to be taking part in the batch! The Seedhouse is a permanent fixture in the region. It is a great opportunity to sharpen our business model through dialogue and discussions.
Stephan Feldker | moduco
The Seedhouse gave us a home when we were not yet in a position to clearly formulate our ideas and visions. We were supported at all times and I can only recommend this contact point to any founding team in the food, agricultural or digital sectors. We wouldn't have been able to develop like this without the support we received here!
Maximilian Stein | mmmint.ai
The Seedhouse offers a combination of flexible mentoring, strong support and lots of workshops and events, which have helped us a lot. Thanks to this great support, we were able to establish ourselves and orientate ourselves towards the market. Without the Seedhouse, kubion would not exist in this form.
Gerrit Meyer zu Driehausen | kubion
As soon as you met him, you could already feel his closeness to the industry. I really liked the clear focus on creating added value for the network - there was no big talk, everything was straight to the point. That has a lot to do with appreciation.
Felix Kathöfer | Katma
In Tim from Seedhouse, we have found a sparring partner who is detached but at the same time very close. He has an eye for the "big thing" and enough distance to solve small problems.
Norman Breitling | Farm starter
What excites me about Seedhouse? It shows what is possible when good ideas meet the right people.
Victor große Macke | Farmerscent
The funding programme enables us to scale up the technology in a short time and thus reduce production costs, so that our plant jerky will be cheaper than the original beef jerky in the medium term.
Volker Lammers | Engineered Food Solutions
As a young start-up, the workshops with experts from various fields helped us enormously. They offered us professional advice from product development to market launch. We are incredibly grateful for this support!
Patrick Funke-Rapp | EasySnacks
As part of the HTI, we were able to verify our hypotheses and develop scalable prototypes. Thanks to the support of the Seedhouse, we were able to accelerate our research work and find valuable network partners.
Dr. Julia Köhn | DeepSoil
The Seedhouse has helped us grow and develop considerably with support in almost every conceivable area. Above all, the technical expertise when it comes to more specialised topics is a fantastic resource for start-ups at every stage.
Dr. Alexander Meier | deepsight
Seedhouse is unique thanks to its network in the agricultural ecosystem coupled with its highly personalised approach to supporting start-ups. The topics are very broadly based, giving the entire team the opportunity to advance their areas and thus the entire company in a very personalised way. The network in the agricultural sector also gives us as a start-up the opportunity to gain visibility and partnerships like no other programme.
Julia Rohde | Corbiota
Without the Seedhouse, BugBell would have remained just an idea today. From the very first prototypes to the relationships with investors, everything is deeply rooted in the Seedhouse.
Jamina Zaugg | BugBell
The outstanding innovative spirit and continuous motivation coupled with the expert advice we received from the entire Seedhouse team impressed us from day one.
Jannes Nazarek | BotUniversity
The Seedhouse has given us a lot of support since our foundation. In addition to the infrastructure, the events and the resulting network of other start-ups, companies and universities have also helped us. Many thanks for that!
Uwe Steinkamp | Altosens
Merging nature and technology. This is the future with which we are pursuing three visions. It's fun to drive the processes forward every day and see how far we have already come with our ideas.
Dr. Josef Franko | AI.Land
For us, the Seedhouse combines a pleasant, open and inquisitive atmosphere in which ideas flow freely and innovation is encouraged.
Myriam | CWO
Networks such as the Seedhouse result in great and inspiring contacts that continue to exist and have already led to fantastic projects and collaborations.
Marco Schlomann | Feldwerk
How are we supposed to adapt to local climate risks and grow crops profitably if we can't even determine, let alone predict, the temperature and humidity of our soil? This is exactly what we supply measurement technology and AI software for.
Andreas Heckmann | Agvolution
We have known the Seedhouse since it was founded. Thanks to the Growhouse, our contact has become even closer. Above all, it offers us the best ecosystem for networking: whether with customers, partners or our investor Landwirtschaftsverlag from Münster.
Norman Caspari | VetVise
The Seedhouse accelerator programme feels like a second home for our startup. From insightful workshops to relaxed conversations over barbecue and beer, Seedhouse has made our transition from academia to entrepreneurship both productive and enjoyable. The supportive community combined with the practical tools and expertise on offer has been instrumental in our growth. It's more than just an accelerator, it's a launch pad for ambitious entrepreneurs.
Vitor Coutinho Carneiro | Merall Bioproducts
The Seedhouse or Growhouse was an important milestone, combined with curiosity and support from the entire network, including chance encounters on car journeys to F&A Next or even just a good cup of coffee together. Thank you!
Sebastian Pütz | Nature Robots
The strength of the Seedhouse network was already apparent during the onboarding meeting. The direct, practical support and valuable contacts are a real game changer for our company's development
Esther Achler-Stubbe | Farmers Factory
At FluIDect, together with our partners, we want to fundamentally change the world of pathogen detection by developing a device that brings laboratory analytics directly to the production line and delivers real-time results at an economical cost.
Dr. Tobias Schröter | FluIDect
