STARTPLATZ Open Accelerator – powered by cozama

We Help Startups Grow Faster.

The STARTPLATZ Open Accelerator – powered by cozama is the only software-supported accelerator in Germany that is open to all interested parties and awards performance-based perks and benefits – from cloud credits, discounts, coworking days and mentoring to participation in the Demo Day and warm intros to investors. Teams that want to qualify for the perks and benefits receive free access to our system of tools, office hours and the cozama software for 3 months in order to qualify through their performance. The software acts as a filter and shows the startups where their biggest roadblocks are and offers direct resources and mentoring to remove these roadblocks. Startups that qualify then have a further 3 months to prove their investment readiness with the help of our mentors and community resources.

Mentors receive analyses of the startups in the Open Accelerator through cozama and can thus individualize their mentoring. In this way, we ensure that startups only receive help where they need it. Investors receive signals (pre-product-market fit) for early-stage startups as to whether an investment in the startup could be worthwhile.
