Founders in our accelerator are supported through intense mentoring and coaching, relevant no-bullshit workshops, access to our global network and to a community of impact founders. We do not take equity and the programme is free of charge — we do however expect you to be engaged and highly committed throughout the entire programme. We do our part but it takes two to tango.

MENTORS & experts

03
investment ready

By the end of the programme you'll be equipped with the right tools and contacts to raise your first funding round.

04
NETWORK

Network of successful entrepreneurs from both Poland and abroad — people who have been there and done exactly what you aim to do.

05
15,000 PLN AWARD

The team that makes the most progress during those 3 months will be awarded 15,000 PLN, all equity-free.

06
