Built with people who’ve done it before. Multiple times.

We believe the best guidance comes from those who’ve actually built, launched, and scaled — not just studied it. That’s why our mentor network includes serial entrepreneurs, growth marketers, product builders, and tech specialists from the world’s top companies.

Whether you're validating your first idea or preparing to raise capital, our mentors bring hands-on insight, challenge your thinking, and help you avoid the mistakes they’ve already made. You won’t find generic advice here — only real guidance tailored to your journey.

"I joined the Accelerator with nothing but a rough concept and a lot of questions. Within six months, I had a working MVP, investor-ready pitch deck, and more confidence than ever. The platform kept me accountable, and my mentor was brutally honest.

Who is the Accelerator for?

Our program is designed for early-stage founders, solo builders, and small teams who have a concept or MVP and are ready to turn it into a scalable business. You don’t need traction — but you do need commitment.

Do I need a fully developed idea or product to apply?

No. We work with founders at the idea or pre-launch stage. What matters most is your clarity of vision and willingness to build. We’ll help you validate, shape, and launch fast.

How much does it cost?

If accepted, participation costs €2,000 or €400 monthly. This includes 6 months of mentorship, platform access, expert calls, and all program tools. We also reinvest in selected graduates.

How does the selection process work?

First, you apply online. If there’s a fit, we schedule a 30-minute intro call. Based on that, we decide whether to extend a personalized invitation to join the accelerator.

What’s included in the platform?

Our platform includes business modeling tools, pitch deck builders, financial templates, an AI tutor, learning modules, and a weekly progress dashboard — all synced with your mentor’s feedback.

Do you help with funding after the program?

Yes. If your startup shows strong potential during the program, we can connect you with our network of partners and investors. In some cases, we may invest directly from our Venture Capital.
