Access our global tech start-up programs. Scale with Telefónica Germany's international network and drive innovation worldwide.
Most start-ups struggle to access enterprise clients and validate their solutions at scale. Building trust with large corporations requires time, connections, and proof of concept.
With us, you can test your solution in a real corporate environment, gather valuable feedback, and build a strong reference case that opens the door to additional enterprise customers and strategic partnerships. We also support startups like yours in navigating the complexity of corporate sales processes and accelerating go-to-market activities so you can bring your product to market faster.
Key Advantages:
Munich-based start-ups often lack the dedicated space, community, and structured support needed to focus on growth while building meaningful corporate relationships.
Our Residency program provides Munich-based tech start-ups with far more than just office space. It's designed as a launchpad for securing your first major corporate client and accelerating sustainable growth. As part of our Residency, members gain access to flexible working spaces, direct networking opportunities with Telefónica Germany executives, as well as a collaborative environment that helps accelerate product-market fit.
Key Advantages:
Securing strategic investment that brings more than just capital is challenging. Many start-ups need partners who understand their industry, can open doors, and actively support their growth trajectory.
Wayra’s investment arm does more than provide funding: we become your strategic growth partner. We invest in seed and growth-stage startups with the potential to generate business with Telefónica, and with pre-money valuations of up to €250M. As one of Europe’s most active corporate venture capital firms, we focus on high-potential startups that align with Telefónica’s strategic priorities. We bring industry expertise, corporate connections, and hands-on support to help you scale faster and smarter.
Key Advantages:

Venture Clienting ist ein strategisches Innovationsmodell, bei dem etablierte Unternehmen mit Startups zusammenarbeiten, indem sie deren Kunden werden. Anders als beim klassischen VC (Fokus auf Equity) geht es beim Venture-Client-Modell darum, Startup-Lösungen einzusetzen, um konkrete Geschäftsherausforderungen zu lösen. Konzerne profitieren von Spitzentechnologien, Startups gewinnen Marktvalidierung und Feedback.
