Starting as a non-profit program for start-ups and businesses under our own civic association, #accacelife, our original idea established back in 2019 soon grew into a complex accelerator. As of 2023, we are excited to join forces with a VC fund and other start-up enthusiasts, exceptional mentors and speakers to create a brand-new accelerator, AceOn. Our accelerator is divided into two rounds: a spring pre-accelerator and an autumn accelerator, nurturing start-ups and exceptional ideas to success within two dedicated programs during the year, with the opportunity to receive investment.
Actively involved with supporting start-ups through accelerators since 2019
6 successful accelerating programs so far – and still counting
Empowered more than 100 start-ups from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Poland and Norway
More than 50 expert mentors and speakers involved
Our mission continues with AceOn as we help founders fulfil their aspirations by giving them the chance to nurture their businesses and promote the spirit of entrepreneurship. Furthermore, we offer an inside look at valuable topics surrounding start-ups, including fundraising, valuation, marketing, business development, founder vesting, utilizing design thinking – and beyond.
The spring round of the accelerator lasts approximately 2 months and is held online or in a hybrid format. It is designed for startups in the idea or pre-seed stage, seeking support in building their prototype or MVP (minimum viable product). Participants in the program receive free mentoring, workshops, and lectures from local and international experts in various fields, from business management and finance to marketing.
The program focuses on scalable tech startups with growth potential. It is open to around 20 startups, which will be divided into two groups based on their stage of development.
The autumn round of the accelerator lasts approximately 2 months and also takes place online or in a hybrid format. It is intended for early-stage startups with a prototype or initial customers but still pre-investment. This year, we have added a specialization – in addition to startups from various segments, we are looking for teams focused on developing and improving technologies and processes within companies, such as CRM and AI solutions, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and more.
Participants in the program will have access to education through lectures and workshops, as well as mentoring from local and international experts in marketing, business, law, finance, fundraising, and other fields.
Two startups with the most potential will have the opportunity to receive an investment of 40,000 EUR to kickstart their business.
Key dates:
Make connections with in-house professionals, industry experts, entrepreneurs and people who are eager to help. Network with other founders, strategic partners and mentors.
Engage in one-on-one mentoring, lectures and workshops covering a wide range of topics such as fundraising, business development and transfer of knowledge without any cost to your team.
