How we support
Coaching
From achieving product-market fit to sales and tech decisions, we know the struggles of startups and have potential solutions how to solve them. Together with our network of mentors, we will guide you on your entrepreneurial journey during the acceleration phase and beyond.
First Customers
Our industry investors and partners are ready to test-drive your product or service, give crucial feedback, and provide first revenues. Furthermore, we support you in customer acquisition within our extended network.
Alumni Network
Although the program ends after six months, our portfolio startups remain for longer. As a the result, they automatically become part of our alums network with the possibility to use our support, network, and access to our industry investors, also far beyond the initial phase.
Tailored Workshops
At NCA, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all path and no reason to repeat the same things over and over again constantly. At the beginning of each investment we support the founders in identifying needs and potentials thoroughly. Based on these insights we set the path for the coming months.
Funding
Startups at NCA are not only provided with expertise, support, and know-how, but also with cash. Depending on the stage there are two different options and it’s up to the respective startup to choose from.
Follow-on investment
The majority of the teams we have invested in are looking to raise the next round of funding subsequently. So during the six months, we will guide you on managing a follow-on fundraising round successfully.

Insights into our startups’ experience
We were looking for an accelerator program who were real partners, rather than just investors. NCA value the team and vision just as much as the company and they were the best fit to help us with the next stages and challenges.
Alex MaitlandCo-Founder Gigapipe, Batch #7NCA helped us to outline a business case for different scenarios and thus made us understand the essential factors driving our vision. The team also supported us in shaping our value proposition and during the preparation of our seed round.
Franziska AltenrathCo-Founder TUTAKA, Batch #6The NCA is an awesome early stage accelerator to incubate commerce-related startups. The program is super helpful and surrounding by experienced mentors and a big community of entrepreneurs to help with the growth and success of startups.
Orkhan HajiyevCo-founder Nextsale, Batch #5We would definitely encourage other startups to apply since the initial support we received from NCA was critical in boosting our business and also finding the right partnerships. We were able to get our product launched with Tchibo and also start a new product to tackle new challenges.
Saad SaedCo-founder Crumb & Pickery, Batch #5The NCA helped me to identify the USPs of my product and to build a relevant e-commerce network.
Woundioun SissokoCo-Founder & CEO yamuntu, Batch #4Follow-up funding, product-market fit, and customer acquisition were the topics NCA provided/provide valuable support.
Jens BüschgensCo-founder Roamlike, Batch #3After we have pivoted with our product from B2C to B2B, the NCA team helped us define our value proposition and gave us a robust canvas for our business strategy. On a personal level, I think I overcame the fear of public speaking, and I am no longer turning purple when holding a mic in front of people. Bring it on!
Marta BlockaCEO and founder of Perkspotting, Batch #4We had a prototype up and running with our business partner. Together with NCA, we got access to a whole new network including new partners, mentors, and investors.
Christoph SchönfelderCo-founder KOALA, Batch #5We were impressed by the experienced team of NCA. Access to a corporate network, mentors, and investors were perfect for the early stage of our company.
Jonas GrabandtCo-founder Opushero, Batch #4The NCA opened doors and gave us a supportive environment to grow out of our Baby-Shoes.
