HOW WE SUPPORT

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. At NCA, Startups always get 125k in Cash. Depending on the stage there are two different options and it’s up to the respective startup to choose from.

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 Maitland

Co-Founder Gigapipe, Batch #7

NCA 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 Altenrath

Co-Founder TUTAKA, Batch #6

The 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 Hajiyev

Co-founder Nextsale, Batch #5

We 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 Saed

Co-founder Crumb & Pickery, Batch #5

The NCA helped me to identify the USPs of my product and to build a relevant e-commerce network.

Woundioun Sissoko

Co-Founder & CEO yamuntu, Batch #4

Follow-up funding, product-market fit, and customer acquisition were the topics NCA provided/provide valuable support.

Jens Büschgens

Co-founder Roamlike, Batch #3

After 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 Blocka

CEO and founder of Perkspotting, Batch #4

We 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 Schönfelder

Co-founder KOALA, Batch #5

We 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 Grabandt

Co-founder Opushero, Batch #4

The NCA opened doors and gave us a supportive environment to grow out of our Baby-Shoes.

Hanna Asmussen

Co-founder Localyze, Batch #2
