We just finished the first cohort with 11 teams from 9 countries. 8 teams will pitch online in front of 6 investors. The selection of the teams at the start was taking SDGs as a lead, and giving the first choice to female founders and refugee finders. We focus on making the teams better in order to increase their success rate.

VALIDATE – BUILD – GO AND CONQUER
No equity asked
Do not waste equity on programs unless you have traction and a serious investment on the table. Do not give up ownership at the start. An investor should invest in your next round based on value for value and what you need is money and/or a sales network.
We are NOT a vertical nor stage startup accelerator
At whatever stage you are, or whatever tech or market, we can support you detecting the missing elements and work on them with our instructors and mentors.
Company Startup Program
For companies, we evaluate whether you can join a regular program or we create a bespoke program matching the company needs.
Investors in-house
We have investor partners on board but as we know the Angel and VC ecosystem very good we can bring you in contact with the best match.
Global Accelerator Programs
Once you go through our Pre-Accelerator program we will select the startups with great progress and connect them to Global Accelerator Programs in Europe or the US. No promises of course as the international level is very high, so you really need to excel.
