Founder stories

MATSUKO's mission is to imbue remote communication with a sense of physical presence and in doing so, to create the closest alternative to face-to-face meetings. Our partnership with hubraum and other leading telcos is crucial for enhancing our user experience and the quality of service. Together with these telcos, we are preparing the service to be interoperable and integrated with several devices and services.  More specifically, the 5G network APIs we've had access to at hubraum have improved our user experience. Real-time streaming requires a high resolution, which in turn demands stable bandwidth — even when we have heavy traffic, we needed to guarantee a high frame rate to be able to see the facial expressions of the hologram clearly, and a low latency in order to interact in real time and thus supply a feeling of presence.
Maria Vircikova,
CEO MATSUKO 
Working with hubraum has been an incredibly transformative and elevating journey for our startup and technology!

Collaborating with a global telco leader like Deutsche Telekom is both inspiring and rewarding, while hubraum's meticulous organization ensures every aspect of the Wi-Fi Sensing Program, which we took part in, is seamlessly managed. This enabled us to focus on what we do best: innovation.

We had exclusive access to cutting-edge technologies like Wi-Fi Sensing and proudly showcased our advancements with it at DigitalX – an absolutely outstanding opportunity, with more to come at our next stop with hubraum - MWC ’25 in Barcelona!

Our journey with hubraum has been nothing short of amazing! hubraum truly cares about its startups’ success. Its commitment to supporting innovative ideas and businesses is what sets them apart as a valuable partner in the startup community. We had so much fun during the AR scavenger hunt at the hubraum campus during the 10th anniversary. Besides this, we also had the opportunity to demonstrate our products in Bonn. These events have been so helpful for us for collecting leads, meeting investors, and networking with fellow entrepreneurs.

Our collaboration with hubraum of Deutsche Telekom has proven to be a crucial factor in our success. Thanks to the dedicated support of the hubraum team, we were able to establish valuable connections with key individuals within Telekom, enabling POCs, user tests, and laying the groundwork for future collaborations.
