The 360 Lab Accelerator program is looking for startups. Participants will receive €100,000 in growth capital and will be supported by mentors and investors. They can also win a trip to San Francisco. Applications are open until November 11.
The program at the Graz and San Francisco locations begins in January 2019. Christian Vancea, Managing Director of 360 Lab, says:
"We see many startups in Europe that are successfully developing new technologies or business models, but lack the know-how and infrastructure to achieve international breakthroughs. While there are countless incubator and accelerator programs for them, most of them are not geared toward supporting startups from market launch to the capital-intensive growth phase."
Technology startups from the marketplace, fintech, blockchain, AI, SaaS, and e-commerce sectors are eligible to apply. Applications are open until November 11, 2018. On December 12, five startups will be selected at an event to launch the program in Graz in January 2019.
With the 360 Lab Accelerator to San Francisco
After the first four months, the participating startups present their progress to interested investors on Demo Day. There, they have the chance to receive investment and spend three months at CoLab44 in San Francisco. Martin Trink, Head of 360 Lab Accelerator, says:
"We offer European technology startups a structured program that enables them, within one year, to develop their company in Europe, find additional investors for international expansion, enter the US market, replicate their success in Europe, and ultimately obtain funding from the world's most prominent venture capital investors. We look forward to welcoming many innovative applicants from across Europe, whom we will accompany and support in their success stories."
Applications for the 360 Lab Accelerator are open until November 11 on-line possible.
