Accelerator Guide Germany 
Accelerator Guide Germany
Please note that this graphic is only a mockup. The final guide will include all states.
What is the purpose of this guide?
Startups have a great influence on the innovative power of our society. However, they need support in decisive growth phases. Unfortunately, it is sometimes hard for startups to find the right support within the pool of possibilities.
We are also of the opinion that many great programs are not as visible as they deserve. For that reason we decided to create this book, which summarizes the most important features of each program, to help startups and accelerators finding their right fit.
The Accelerator Guide will be published in 2021 and will serve as a standard work for startups worldwide. It will be published free of charge digitally and in print. It will be available online as a PDF on our website. Printed copies will be sent to universities, coworking spaces and public bodies.
You're in good company

What is our goal?
Accelerator programs typically pursue specific objectives for participating teams. For example, market maturity, internationalisation, readiness for a larger round of funding, first B2B customer, etc.
Therefore, it is our goal to categorize all programs as concisely as possible to make it as easy as possible for both parties to find the right participants/programs.
This guide will help founders, teams and mature startups navigate the accelerator landscape of Germany in seconds. It will be the go-to-destination for creators of innovation to know where to find pilot projects, corporate clients, coaching & mentors, grants, office space and more.
The startup and innovative ecosystem is overwhelming – in its various senses. The Accelerator Guide Germany helps both, founders and their supporters, in finding their perfect matches for strong cooperations and promising innovations!
Apart from start-ups, the guide is also aimed at people interested in start-ups, actors in the innovation and start-up ecosystem, as well as decision-makers in companies for innovation and collaboration topics.
