GPU Audio, INC (founded in Switzerland as Braingines SA) is a technology startup that bridges the world of GPU innovation with professional audio, through the world’s first fully capable solution for audio processing over GPU. GPU Audio’s novel approach allows for DSP (digital signal processing) to be offloaded onto the parallel processing architecture of GPUs at 1ms latency round-trip, allowing for truly next-gen features such as: limitless DSP plugin instances, remote computing and wireless/cloud processing, continuous audio rendering (no more exporting audio), and instantaneous results. Beginning with VST3 and AU functionality, we are redesigning the way DSP is handled so that developers and end-users alike can benefit immediately from the incredible power of GPUs to both enhance their existing products, and create the plugins and software of their dreams. Our mission is to provide a truly next-gen, qualitative level of performance for pro audio, and become the new standard of audio processing for the digital future across numerous verticals.

homefully GmbH was created with the vision of a world where we can share the feeling of home everywhere and together. We create living space for a diverse community of international professionals and counteract the increasing rush in the housing market with an innovative living concept by transforming conventional flats into contemporary co-living spaces. This requires more than a fully furnished flat. Thats why we focus on matching the right flatmates and continuously improving our concept flats based on usage data from our Community. We want our Community Members flatmates to be an asset, not a burden. The entire homefully home experience is supported by independently developed digital processes that start with booking the ideal flat and accompany our tenants throughout their entire customer journey. With a centralized community management team guiding our customers along the way, homefully brings comfort to the otherwise frustrating world of housing. We pave the way for young professionals to arrive in the big city with an all-in-one contract and take care of everything that might complicate their start - from broadcasting fees to their flats cleaning. Great visions need a strong team. That is why we are looking for reinforcement. With currently almost 40 heads and a clear strategy, we are ready to revolutionize the future of co-living. We are based in Frankfurt am Main and Munich, but already operate in eight cities across Germany and Switzerland. If you are enthusiastic and would like to join us on the journey to European co-living market leadership with great commitment and enthusiasm, we look forward to receiving your application!

KINO.impact Fellowship The KINO.impact Fellowship is a programme for young people who want to build new things. We award up to $200,000 in grants to fellows who choose to pursue their own ideas rather than follow a conventional academic or corporate path. At the heart of each cohort is an intensive on-site bootcamp focused on entrepreneurship and topics relevant to that specific cohort — a deliberate immersion in building, shipping, and thinking like a founder. Beyond the bootcamp, fellows receive ongoing mentorship and support from a network of founders, investors, and operators — people who have navigated the same challenges and understand this world from the inside. Alexander Pavlov and Anastasia Pavlova, co-founders of KINO.impact, bring 30+ years of combined experience in VC industry. They have backed founders from all over the world, sat on their boards, and watched what happens when the right support shows up at the right moment. That is what they are building now. KINO.impact fellowship focuses on founders with the post-Soviet angle. It covers founders who were born there, grew up there, have family roots there, studied there, or simply carry that cultural and intellectual DNA with them — wherever they are building from today. First cohort: Summer 2027. Applications opening soon.
