Accelerator – Vertical Accelerator

AI Founders

We empower founders and teams to build and scale their AI business and gain traction.

Empower & support ambitious founders leveraging AI to solve significant problems and provide them with resources, mentorship, and community to succeed.

The program is for early-stage founding teams or ventures that are comprised of one technical & one business co-founder. Single founders with high potential are also encouraged to apply. Our selection criteria revolve around the problem you are trying to solve with AI, your product/solution, the innovativeness of your idea and your competition, the size of the market you are addressing, the scalability of the idea, and your business model.

The program offers a dual-track approach: the “business track” for refining your business aspects and the “AI track” for leveraging and scaling your AI models. To be successful, startups and innovators need a strong network. For that reason, we nurture an active and collaborative community of talent, entrepreneurs, regional and international startups, corporations, as well as large mentor, expert and investor network. You also receive free co-living accommodation for you, your team and the whole cohort to create an inspiring environment.

Our AI Founders program focuses on startups working on achieving product-market-fit.
For startups earlier or later in their entrepreneurial journey, Campus Founders offers complementary programs: AI Start (for reaching idea-stage), an Incubator (for finding problem-solution-fit), Accelerator (product-market-fit but without focus on AI) as well as AI Scale (for developing scaleability).
