That's what it's all about

Meet&Match is the matchmaking format that brings people with ideas and skills together to get started as a start-up team. The matchmaking platform brings together individual founders or start-up teams and people from universities and research institutions who are interested in starting a business across disciplines, network and share ideas.

You will be accompanied by speed dating events and personal support from the Startup Port – from the first contact to the further development of your start-up idea.

Together you will grow into successful start-up teams.

Success stories

Don’t swipe, start

Oliver and Lars were there for the first run of “Meet&Match” and report on their experiences in our news.

“Just have a beer together!”

Bored in lockdown, playing around with lasers and suddenly you’re faced with your own start-up idea? This is roughly what happened to Johannes and Jan, the founders of the startup VLOUW. Read their success story to find out how Meet&Match enabled them to expand their team.

“We wanted to be a balanced team.”

What do you do when you have an almost revolutionary idea but no one to bring it to market with you? That’s right, you sign up for Meet&Match! Just like Felix, Lars and Caro from iPolis.

“No real life anymore!”

“We want to build something that lasts!” The two young founders Yolanda and Luca started their start-up ReDo with this dream in mind. Find out how Meet&Match has helped them in their success story.

A strong team is particularly important!

Get to know each other, match – and then still not found a company? At first glance, you might think that this sounds like the story of failed founders. However, Lars and Sepehr show the complete opposite.
