SPINLAB IS RANKED AS ONE OF THE TOP 3 STARTUP ACCELERATOR PROGRAMS IN GERMANY

“Our experience at SpinLab – The HHL Accelerator has been extremely valuable and crucial to the growth we have experienced with our company. The program helped ease some of the pains of the early stages of founding a company, and really helped us by providing access to a great business network that led to both funding and business opportunities. All of the startups in Germany who are just beginning should absolutely apply for the program.”

“We have been working closely with Spinlab – The HHL Accelerator for many years now and collaborate in many dimensions to support start-ups in the region and beyond. The amount of opportunities the SpinLab has brought to Leipzig and Saxony in combination with the educational efforts of HHL have created an ecosystem that is unrivaled. All founders who undertake our program are enabled to bring their startup to the next level.”

“SpinLab fosters innovation through new ways of exchanging creativity and entrepreneurship. For me artists and entrepreneurs do have a lot of similarities, since they work independently on creative processes and high uncertainty about the outcomes and customer reaction. Also, both want to make money to continue and improve their businesses! Like in a gallery, the time period in SpinLab is limited to six months. Afterwards these teams can establish businesses that are active all over the world.”

“SpinLab is a great experience for every entrepreneur laying the foundation for a successful business. The impact we received helped us grow to seed stage fast. SpinLab assists you to eliminate your weaknesses by not only providing a strong network but hands on support on many topics a young company faces. It is about finding real solutions making your startup succeed.”

„Integrating young and innovative startups at SPINNEREI is a real value-added for all parties. SpinLab and the startups raise the awareness of SPINNEREI and the local artists and galleries at another target group. On the other hand, startups can benefit from the creative atmosphere and openness of our facilities here. Together, artists and entrepreneurs can interact and enrich their individual perspectives.”

“Imagination and finance have often had a fruitful relationship in the history of Leipzig. The arts, creativity and business-sense are not mutually exclusive. So I’m extremely happy that HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management and SPINNEREI have found each other and established SpinLab – The HHL Accelerator as a joint venture to strengthen Leipzig’s entrepreneurial spirit. I wish them every success!”

“We came from Munich to Leipzig and were happy about this young, inexpensive city in which we immediately felt welcome. Through the great support by SpinLab we made rapid progress, built three prototypes and found our third co-founder Martin. The support of our mentor Prof. Kirchgeorg opened up many doors and we got into contact with many potential customers.”

“The Spinlab Accelerator is a rare combination of scientific experience and research from renowned HHL with broad industrial know-how transported by experienced mentors as an in depth learning and support offer to founding teams. We have been overwhelmed by the amount of applications growing each season in numbers. Despite the professional standards we and Eric Weber an his team stands for the working environment with all our partners and the teams is attractive, open und also fun. The high amount of firms which are able to raise funds and reach the next level of business is also a result of the great ecosystem. This great opportunity embedded in the famous art scene Spinnerei is the place to be.”
