The accelerator programme model comprises five main features. The combination of these sets it apart from other approaches to investment or business incubation:
• An application process that is open to all, yet highly competitive.
• Provision of pre-seed investment, usually in exchange for equity.
• A focus on small teams not individual founders.
• Time-limited support comprising programmed events and intensive mentoring.
• Cohorts or ‘classes’ of startups rather than individual companies.
The site includes details of all the programmes we know of in Europe. For founders with a European passport this usually means there is no limitation on applying to any of these programmes. We don't include full details of schemes that don't fit the definition above but we do maintain a list of other support for startups.
Accelerator programmes combine small amounts of investment with intensive mentoring and advice to help your business get the best possible start. Startup Factories is your guide to these programmes across the European Union with information about individual schemes, tips on how to apply and what to expect if you get accepted.
