We can work with existing early-stage startups, help researchers to become founders themselves, or even build a company from the ground up around an amazing idea with a business case.
<aside> 📌 Every company and every team is different. Everyone starts their journey at a different place. For this reason we have a comprehensive two stage program that sets you up for success no matter where you start.
</aside>
This is for startups or founders still missing one or two perfect pieces; a great co-founder who balances your weaknesses with their strengths, a big commercial problem to be solved, or the piece of ground-breaking technology that solves that problem.
We help you identify these missing elements and integrate them, while crystallising your vision and strategy.
Ideation takes place over a series of workshops where you’ll learn the most important aspects of being a founder while perfecting your idea, pitch and team. We believe that the best founders don’t need to go back to school, and that they’re self-aware enough to know their weaknesses. For this reason, we don’t mandate a strict program, but allow you to choose the workshops that fill in a gap you’re missing.
We do offer one-on-one coaching and deeper dives into topics when you need additional help, though.
<aside> ✅ The goal of ideation is to get your company ready to apply for acceleration.

This is where the rubber hits the road. Companies accepted into our accelerator program have been deeply vetted by our team, VCs and technical experts at Fraunhofer.
Once you get the green light you get funded and the full backing and resources of both Silicon Allee and Fraunhofer HHI. We’ll work with you to create a custom roadmap for your next year and then work hand-in-hand to achieve your goals, with the ultimate finish line being a major venture capital investment. Full speed ahead!
<aside> ✅ The goal of acceleration is to raise at least €1,000,000 in venture capital within 1-2 years
