Demo Day
Our goal is to accompany you from the idea to the market. For this we developed a 8 month accelerator program + 1 year follow up support. You focus on product und company growth, we take care for the rest.
1. Application
Apply from 01/06/2022 until 12/08/2022 23:59 pm to join the program.
Apply over the f6s portal. The application should not take more than 20 min to complete. Please remember to upload your current pitch deck and short video introducing your team.
2. Selection
Our selection phase is divided into three rounds. The decision will be on 05/09/2022
Round 1: General selection of top 25 startup teams.
Round 2: Interview with the MotionLab.Berlin experts
Round 3: Hybrid pitching event in front of distinguished jury
3. Program start & project phase
Batch #1 starts on 04.10.2022 and ends on 31.05.2023
The program is divided into 3 phases:
- 2 months incubation phase
- 6 months accelerator phase
- 12 months Follow-up support
2-month ideation and exploration followed by a 6-month acceleration and growth phase. Participating startups will need to pass pre-defined milestones in order to receive the cash investment after the 2-month ideation and exploration phase. The milestones are defined at the beginning of the program with your coaches and advisors. The Go or No-Go decision (see graphic below) is dependent on the successful achievement of the milestones defined together with coaches and advisors at the beginning of the program. The cash investment will only be made if the startup passes the go or no-go decision.
4. Demo Day + 12 months follow up support
All your hard work not only needs to be celebrated, but also shown to potential investors, customers, potential corporate partners and more. That’s why we’re already looking forward to Demo Day on 05/25/2023 – the big pitch and networking event! But even the best products need time to become successful and your success is the most important thing for us. Therefore, we will accompany you for another 12 months in our locations Berlin Marzahn and Alt-Treptow.
