Startup Incubator

From idea to incorporation: we build alongside you.

We support founding teams from the first structure to live operations — as a sparring partner who works with you instead of just assessing you.

Structure & business model

Business model, pricing and unit economics that hold up in a term sheet.

Formation & setup

Start under the Bergstone umbrella first. Trademark in your name (DPMA/EUIPO), cap table and SHA prepared for notary.

Team & key roles

Role mapping: hire vs. outsource vs. automate. First hires: profiles, German contracts, Scheinselbständigkeit checks.

Hands-on operations

AI-first ops stack built for you: CRM, n8n automations, dashboards. Website, funnels, Meta/Google Ads — live and managed.

Venture-in-Residence

Start selling before you incorporate.

Operate as a venture inside Bergstone GmbH: your brand, our legal entity. Sign German clients through an established Berlin GmbH with bank account, accounting and insurance — from week one. No share capital, no German bank marathon, no EU residency required.

01

Your brand, protected.

Trademark registered in your name, licensed to Bergstone for the incubation period.

02

Our entity, your business line.

Contracts and payments run through Bergstone — dedicated account, clean books, four-eyes payment approval.

03

Your company, when it's time.

Pre-agreed spin-off: assets and brand move to your NewCo; Bergstone takes a minority stake and stays your partner.

What we ask

We screen founders and say no more often than yes. Non-negotiables: transparent books, payments via approval workflow, indemnification for your business line, no regulated activities without clearance.
