“Meeting KUMST was a small miracle. I met people who genuinely cared about understanding my vision and helping me move it in the right direction. Specifically, the mentoring, support with grant applications, connections to the right experts, guidance in marketing — and, not least, the encouragement during the toughest moments of my entrepreneurial journey. The fact that KUMST also brought me genuine friendships is an incredible bonus — one I deeply value.”
“Thanks to KUMST, we’ve come to understand why we do what we do. The story behind our business finally makes sense.Of course, profit matters — but you can earn money anywhere. True, sustainable value is much harder to find.”

“KUMST helped us most through the JIC Booster program, where we had the chance to grow and improve under the mentorship of Karoline and David. Their combination of business and creative industry experience really pushed us forward — from redefining our target audience and improving team management to optimizing cash flow.Beyond that, we’ve joined several inspiring events organized by KUMST and JIC — most recently the Velvet Innovation Conference and the discussion ‘Product Design as a Business.’”

“KUMST provided us not only with office space but also the opportunity to exhibit in the showroom. I’d also like to mention that both KUMST and JIC are full of valuable connections and insights that keep moving our business forward. Around KUMST, there’s a thriving community of creative professionals — one we’re relying on and engaging with more and more.”
