HOIV Open House: Race, Raise & Connect
On April 14, HOIV opens its doors for a full day of momentum.
From 10:30 to 18:30, you’re invited to experience Vienna’s Home of Innovation not as a guest — but as part of the ecosystem. Bring your laptop, settle into our coworking space, and work from HOIV free of charge. Take meetings, move your projects forward, and experience a professional environment designed for clarity, focus, and real exchange.
Whether you’re exploring coworking, looking for a strong founder environment, or simply curious about the atmosphere, this Open House gives you space to arrive, connect, and experience HOIV naturally.
Throughout the day, you can:
• Explore our workspaces, meeting rooms, and event areas
• Meet members and discover the ideas growing inside HOIV
• Join a guided tour
• Ask questions about memberships and community
• Work from HOIV free of charge
But this day doesn’t stop at coworking.
Step into our VR Racing Challenge and experience innovation at full speed — immersive, competitive, and surprisingly intense. It’s technology you don’t just watch, but feel.
For founders and ambitious builders, the focus then shifts to capital and strategy.
Begin with “Early-Stage Funding: What Investors Really Look For.”
Investors from Calm/Storm Ventures and Push Ventures share what actually drives investment decisions — and what founders often overlook.
Then continue with “From Zero to Funding – Getting Ready for the First Round.”
This session kicks off our Startup Fundraising & Legal Bootcamp — a 4-part interactive workshop series hosted together with Schoenherr Attorneys at Law. It focuses on the structural foundations you need before speaking to investors.
The day moves from action to insight — from competition to capital — giving you a practical and realistic look at what building and financing innovation actually requires.
Arrive in the morning.
Stay for the conversations.
Leave with momentum.
