After your startup’s selection into the accelerator, an intensive 12 week program follows. Starting with an initial investment of 75k euro followed by a strategic intake during the first physical deep dive of 2 weeks in Antwerp, we align your goals and you get matched with your lead mentor & advisory board by an intense matchmaking process.

Next up: another 2 physical deep dives of one week each. Everyone joins in on inspiring sessions, several events, team building activities, advisory board workshops and valuable one-on-ones for their startup. Continuously throughout the accelerator, meetings with your mentor, advisors or additional meetings with potential clients are set up either in person or virtually.

After the program ends, you join our alumni network with steady access to our investor network and partners. It’s possible to increase your total funding to 150k euro and potentially secure follow-on investments of up to 1,5 Mio cumulative, made possible by Birdhouse Ventures, in the future.
