Meet the Right People & Strengthen your Impact

Our free Accelerator gives you the platform to spark innovation through connection and knowledge sharing. Meet investors, business experts, corporate partners and fellow founders in this intensive six-week program.

Spanning 10 working days, the program takes place in Frankfurt between October and mid-December. Participants will also build connections during public and private networking events, culminating in a grand Finale.

Whether you‘re jumping the hurdles of early-stage development or looking to take your startup to the next growth step, we provide the tools and network you need to succeed.

PROGRAM RECAP 2024

Top Takeaways from the 2024 Accelerator

During our Accelerators, one of our goals was to help founders and partners meet the right people. For example, we connected penomo team members to Baker McKenzie Germany and Verein für Umweltmanagement und Nachhaltigkeit in Finanzinstituten e.V. (VfU). Other startups are in conversations with Commerzbank, GFT and Visa.
