Advance Conference – International Web and StartUp Conference in Cologne - September 19 & 20, 2011, Cologne (Germany)

H-Farm is a Venture Incubator; our mission is to accelerate the development of Internet startups via a combination of seed investment and incubation services.

The Venture Incubator is a hybrid model that reflects the dual soul of H-Farm: that of Venture Capitalist and that of Incubator. As a VC we invest seed capital, granting the finance necessary for the early stage activities; as an incubator we provide a series of services to speed up the business development: an inspiring workplace, centralized general administration, press office, human resources, legal and financial consultancy; H-Farm partners support the portfolio startups throughout their incubation assisting them defining commercial strategies, business plans, partnerships and exit strategies.

H-Farm is present at international level with offices in four countries: Ca’ Tron (Italy), Seattle (USA), London (UK) and Mumbai (India). Our premises receive numerous visits from journalists, personalities from the worlds of politics and business, potential clients and investors, hence we are able to offer exceptional visibility and important business opportunities to the startups.

We are looking for smart young people, with ideas that interpret the Internet in an innovative way, applying new business models and forms of communication. We are looking for young people who think outside the box, who can design tomorrow’s Internet and who are determined to transform an idea into a successful business. Above all, we are looking for young people who share our background of simplicity, collaboration, creativity, rationality, passion, curiosity and innovation.
