At ZOLLHOF, we believe in working together collaboratively to accelerate human-centered business models with real value. Our startup incubation program offers space for people with a positive entrepreneurial mindset to create the new together with us. After reviewing more than 80 applications with various solutions, products, and services in the most diverse fields and branches, we are super excited to welcome our 12 brand-new Batch #5 startups to the ZOHO Family! Another great fact about the new batch: Almost 44% of them are founded by great female entrepreneurs and 50% of all startups have women on board of their team. Innovation needs diversity, and we think that with this batch we definitely made another great step in the right direction.

Are you ready to meet the teams and their ingenious ideas? Here we go!
