What our Startups have to say?
Especially in the start-up phase, it is important to have the right partners at your side. With the support of A1 and Start Up Campus, we were able to launch our innovative POS solution throughout Austria.
The welcome at the A1 Startup Campus was totally warm. We quickly found our way around and were able to network easily with the other startups. The handover of the office space was quite straightforward, although it took place between two lockdowns.
From the very first conversation, we knew that A1 understood start ups. After a great onboarding, we immediately got the support of numerous A1 experts who helped us in various areas to be even more efficient and thus grow faster.
