Startups can be founded or not founded, but are not allowed to be in the market, so no pilot product must be sold. If they are founded, they need to be founded in Berlin or move their entity to Berlin. Participants need to be Berlin residents, but not German Citizens. We can help with Visa application. No side job allowed, this is a full-time program. Start with On-Site Presence is first of September. Diverse Teams (male/female/diverse) and teams with a complementary skillset including at developer have a plus in the application.
