A four-workshop pitch program that got 10+ startups investor-ready
Neew Ventures is Germany's oldest venture fund, specialized in deep tech and circular economy; together with Circularity Hub they support early-stage projects in the space. We ran an education program for early-stage founders, sustainability startups, and ecosystem members working on circular and impact projects.
