APPLY NOW FOR PROGRAM13
There are accelerators and there is ASPnP. For four years now we accelerate startups in Berlin. More than 90 digital companies with over 250 founders have gone through our program. We invest in a wide range of industry verticals and more than half of our portfolio companies secure follow-on investment after demo day. We are not just a place, a program, a network and an experience. We are a versatile platform driving the success of our companies by individually opening the right doors at the right time.
For 5% equity, companies get €25,000 pre-seed funding and participate in our 100-day accelerator program in Berlin. If a company has previously raised a seed round, we are happy to invest up to €100,000 with a convertible note. In both cases, our goal is to become a long-term partner of the companies and to support them with our knowledge and our network along the way. Therefore, we often co-invest in follow-on financing rounds of portfolio companies.
