EIT Climate-KICs 3 Stages of Acceleration
- Stage 1 - Business Model Development
- The first stage of the ClimAccelerator is intended to help early-stage startups refine and develop their specific USP and business model. Here the first prototype is finalised and assistance is provided to obtain industry feedback. This stage critically provides access to more mature startups in later stages of the Accelerator as well as to expert coaching, 1-2-1 mentoring and workshops and the Climate-KIC European contacts network and events.
- Stage 2 - Customer Traction
- The second stage of the ClimAccelerator helps move startups with a well-formulated business model to the next phase: validation and customer acquisition. Team focus on acquiring their first clients and an iterative process of business model validation whilst receiving continuing support from experts and mentors and participating to activities and workshops. These more mature startups will be able to display their ventures in several internal and external events, growing their individual network.
- Stage 3 - Investor Readiness
- The third and final stage of the ClimAccelerator prepares businesses for future investment rounds and scaling. Teams get continued access to all spaces, events and coaching sessions. Startups in this stage of the programme are supported in preparation for negotiations with potential investors and partners and can tap into a huge network of investor contacts and partners.
