Frequently Asked Questions
If you don’t see an answer to your question, you can always send us an email.
Moving to Münster is not necessary. We believe that business models develop best where entrepreneurs want to work within their existing private and professional networks. However, to improve networking, we recommend that all participants regularly come to the coworking space in Münster or the satellite locations to work from there and take part in networking events.
We are convinced that starting a business is a full-time job that requires 100% commitment to your business model. However, we also know that this is not always easy for young startups and intrapreneurs. That is why part-time applications are possible. However, applicants should definitely intend to work full-time on their business idea during the program. We will support you with possible financing options.
Yes. With clear progress your chances increase for the next batch. We are looking forward to see you progress.
The accelerator program is equity‑free. The services provided are publicly funded and equal a de minimis aid of 30,000€. Startups are entitled to de minimis aid of up to 300.000€ within three years. For further information, please contact us.
We focus on B2B tech startups across all industries. Following the TECH.LAND clusters, we can bring additional benefits to startups focusing on batteries, hydrogen, health and medtech, advanced manufacturing and robotics, or circular economy.
A parallel participation is generally possible if your schedules/commitments are compatible. Please let us know about your other obligations during your application.
We expect clear commitment from our teams. By program start, at least one founder should be committed full‑time, if possible the whole team.
Your team should ideally consists of 2–20 FTE. Single founders are not a KO criteria, but a complementary team is a plus.
