Startup programmes and accelerators

Grants, accelerators and incubators: turning several hundred submissions per cohort into a small, well-argued selection within a few weeks — without losing the overview.

The starting point

Where it gets difficult in practice

Startup programmes run in cycles and under time pressure: hundreds of applications arrive just before the deadline, external screeners and juries work in parallel, and pitch decks, financial plans and follow-up questions scatter across inboxes. Comparability barely emerges — and justifying a rejection turns into research.

At the same time every cohort is a data set: selection rates, scoring patterns and sector distribution become relevant at the latest when reporting to your board and sponsors. Spreadsheets and mail threads make that almost impossible to reconstruct.
