Originally started in 2019 as a non-profit initiative for start-ups and businesses within our own civic association, #accacelife, our initial idea aimed to support start-ups and businesses. Over time, it grew into a comprehensive accelerator program. Fast forward to 2023, we are thrilled to collaborate with a VC fund and fellow start-up enthusiasts, alongside exceptional mentors, and speakers to launch AceOn – a brand-new accelerator. Our accelerator is divided into two phases: a spring pre-accelerator and an autumn accelerator. These programs provide dedicated support and guidance to start-ups and outstanding ideas throughout the year, offering opportunities for receiving investment and fostering their journey to success.
Engaged in supporting start-ups through accelerators since 2019
Successfully completed 6 accelerating programs so far – with more in progress
Empowered more than 100 start-ups from Slovakia, Czechia, the UK, Romania, Poland and Norway
Collaborated with over 50 expert mentors and speakers
With AceOn, our mission continues as we help founders with realising their aspirations, providing them the opportunities to nurture their ventures and foster the spirit of entrepreneurship. Additionally, we delve into valuable topics surrounding start-ups, including fundraising, valuation, marketing, business development, founder vesting, application of design thinking – and more.
The spring round of the accelerator lasts approximately 2 months and is held online or in a hybrid format. It is designed for startups in the idea or pre-seed stage, seeking support in building their prototype or MVP (minimum viable product). Participants in the program receive free mentoring, workshops, and lectures from local and international experts in various fields, from business management and finance to marketing.
The program focuses on scalable tech startups with growth potential. It is open to around 20 startups, which will be divided into two groups based on their stage of development.
The autumn round of the accelerator lasts approximately 2 months and also takes place online or in a hybrid format. It is intended for early-stage startups with a prototype or initial customers but still pre-investment. This year, we have added a specialization – in addition to startups from various segments, we are looking for teams focused on developing and improving technologies and processes within companies, such as CRM and AI solutions, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and more.
Participants in the program will have access to education through lectures and workshops, as well as mentoring from local and international experts in marketing, business, law, finance, fundraising, and other fields.
Two startups with the most potential will have the opportunity to receive an investment of 40,000 EUR to kickstart their business.
Key dates:
Establish connections with in-house professionals, industry experts, entrepreneurs and people willing to provide help. Network with other founders, strategic partners, and mentors.
Participate in personalised one-on-one mentoring sessions, lectures and workshops covering various topics including fundraising, business development and knowledge transfer at no cost to your team.
