Our weekly syncs with mentors are designed to offer tailored support for your business challenges, spanning from product development to sales and operations. And the best part - If we don't have the perfect match for you, we'll do our best to find the right person for you to work with.
Right from day one, you'll have weekly tracking sessions to help you set your weekly priorities, ensuring maximum productivity and accountability.
We offer a diverse range of workshops, paired with personalized 101s with experts. This way, you can effortlessly refresh your understanding of business essentials and delve deeper only if you need it.
We're offering up to $70k in initial investments and providing our alumni with direct access to a curated list of early-stage angels and VCs. Plus, we create opportunities for networking and pitching with investors at community events and final Demo Days.
We nurture a cozy community of founders who are building something extraordinary and support each other. Once you are selected for our program, you'll be part of our alumni community forever.
We set aside time for weekly moderated sessions where you can openly share your feelings in a safe environment. Additionally, we offer workshops to help you tap into your inner motivation, unwind, and maintain a high level of psychological well-being.
Solo founders or established teams with a game-changing idea in the social-cultural impact field at an early stage of its realization.
We are seeking people with robust technical or domain expertise, a demonstrated track record of creating solutions that people genuinely need across various sectors (NGO, academia, corporate), and a serious commitment to building a business on a large scale.
However, we are always open to considering ideas from other fields if they have the potential to make a significant positive change in the world.
It’s a 12-week program designed around the needs of founders who are at the very early stage of their journey. The main focus of the program is to help you test as many hypotheses as possible, then validate your solution, define a business model, find first signs of market fit, and start generating revenue via scalable sales channels. Ultimately, the goal is to make you ready for growth, and become investable.
We introduce a stage gate during the 4th week of the accelerator. Think of it as a trial period for startups to check if they find enough value in what we offer, deciding whether to continue with SAFE. Simultaneously, it's our chance to see if we have what it takes to guide a team to success and if we're eager to proceed together.
Each week is centered around a specific theme and has the following ongoing elements:
