Here's what our alumni say about us
The German Accelerator program was a great and fast overview of the most important topics startups need to prep internationalization. I would advise other startups to take some time out to get more of a perspective and input/feedback from other startups!
It was a useful preparation for expanding into another market. We appreciate that the mentoring sessions are really tailored to our our needs and wishes.
The mentoring concept of German Accelerator was super helpful because you have a dedicated amount of mentoring hours - both with your lead mentor and specialist mentors, who offer a more targeted support.
