Two things grow here: you and your startup.

Solo founders need to be Frankfurt School students or alumni. Teams need at least one FS student or alumni on board. The application accepts every stage: idea, mockup, MVP, first revenues, or growth.

No. The programmes are built for people before the company exists. You can book an Idea Talk with nothing more than an idea or a question, and the application itself starts at the earliest stage: an idea or a mockup.

A pitch deck. The application form is in English. If you do not have a deck yet, that is exactly what the Idea Talk is for: 30 minutes with the FSEC team, no preparation needed.

Whenever you are ready. The Incubator takes new teams year round. The Accelerator runs two six week cohorts a year; entry is discretionary and runs through the Incubator. Not sure about the timing? Book an Idea Talk and ask the team.

It depends on the stage. The Incubator gives you monthly coaching, mentoring tailored to what you need right now, and the FS network of alumni, partners and investors. The Accelerator adds six weeks of structure and pace, with your pitch rehearsed for the demo day that closes every cohort.

The team of the Frankfurt School Entrepreneurship Centre, backed by 240 mentors and a network of alumni, partners and investors. The track record so far: 215 startups incubated, 46 in the portfolio today.
