What you get
What are we looking for?
How we work is changing dramatically these days and we are only seeing the beginning of the revolution! We – both as individuals and as businesses – require freedom and flexibility. We need to be able to work anywhere and anytime as the World becomes increasingly global. These trends have given rise to the concept of co-working, where individuals, startups, SMBs, and even corporates embrace a new, flexible and social way of working together.
All startups within the space of Future of Work can apply. In this program, we are especially looking for startups working with Big Data, IoT, ML/AI, and similar technologies to help co-working and real estate operators to:
Spaces
Design co-working spaces to maximize both productivity and utilization.
Operations
Operate co-working spaces in the most efficient and profitable manner.
Services
Deliver value-adding services to members of the co-working community.
Interactions
Create strong communities and ecosystems for startups, entrepreneurs and SMBs.
Locations
Determine optimal locations for new co-working spaces.
"Months after graduating the Accelerace programme, we experienced strong growth, got a seed investment, grew our team and certainly expanded the number of bikes in the streets counting 2000 now in 40+ locations. The key learning from the Accelerace program was the how to focus on your beachhead and kill your darlings that are outside the focus."
CEO, DonkeyRepublic
"The program was an effective accelerator and a good introduction to relevant business partners and approaches. In particular, the dedicated mentor and the structured approach to testing commercial hypothesis during the program were key for the breakthrough of Transporteca."
"Accelerace helped us optimize our business model and scale our sales process. We grew from 10 to 25 employees, and we have tripled our revenues. We could never have done this without the help from Accelerace!”
“We have been really pleased with our participation in Accelerace and the strategic counseling which have proven to be crucial in raising capital to make our visions come true and to meet the expectations of our owners.”
“Above all, being part of the Accelerace program helped us understand how investors think. That’s basically why we were able to refine our business model, nail our pitch and eventually secure substantial venture funding to develop and grow our business."
"The Accelerace program has helped us with our strategic priorities in reaching product-market-fit. We have saved time and boosted our progress as a direct result of the advice we received from our Accelerace mentors and at their workshops. We are deeply grateful for the personal and professional way that the program has been executed and we do not hesitate to recommend Accelerace to other SaaS startups."
