Startups

HPI graduates have founded more than 200 tech startups. In addition, numerous startups have been founded by graduates of the HPI School of Design Thinking. Many of these have become successful companies with a large number of employees. Several of the startups were also sold to large companies, most recently Signavio as a Unicorn to SAP, LanaLabs to Appian, Synfioo to Project44 and Industrial Analytics to Infineon.

HPI Seed, an early-stage investor focussing on supporting tech startups, provides intensive support to many startups in a constantly growing network. Startups receive a comprehensive offer of attractive co-working-space on campus, growth support, funding, mentoring, and access to a strong, supportive community of partners, investors and mentors. 

Access to this network, job opportunities and co-founder matching can be found in our Slack or via the HPI Connect Jobportal.
