Our current focus is connecting B2B tech startups with corporates and agencies through venture clienting services. Besides that we offer M&A advisory for corporates and startups, funds advisory as well as interim and innovation consulting projects.

We ran the next media accelerator from 2015 until 2022 and invested in 78 early-stage startups from Europe and Israel. Besides 4 exits we still work with a portfolio of approximately 20 teams.

Additionally, we were part of two EU-funded projects for the pan-European media ecosystem (Media Futures and STADIEM) from 2020 until 2023 where we worked with more than 150 European startups.

And now we are building our own Agentic AI solutions for the startup industry.

Before joining NMA in 2017, I gained 15+ years of experience in management consulting with 5 years as a managing partner focused on the media and communications industry. Additionally, I spent 2 years as a key account manager in the online services industry.
