It's time to innovate

Get expert support from First Idea to Internationalization with the first open accelerator designed exclusively for corporate startups.

Imagine...

… employees in your company have an idea – for a new product, a new service, or a new business model.

The idea is promising, and you want to support the team, but you’re also faced with a lot of questions.

  • How can this business idea be evaluated in a short period of time?
  • What is the right methodology to test the idea?
  • How can you ensure that the team is working towards its goal?

A corporate startup consists of a team within an already existing company. This team develops and tests a new product or service or in some cases, even a completely new business model. 

A corporate startup uses the possibilities of a company, such as financing, existing data, etc. But initially works with its own structures and processes. It combines many years of experience of the established player with the agility of a startup

Introducing the Corporate Startup Accelerator

The Corporate Startup Accelerator is the first open accelerator specifically for corporate startups.

With this program, we help teams within a company – also known as corporate startups – to realize their ideas. We support them from the initial idea through market maturity to international scaling. Regardless of your industry or company size, from global corporations to medium-sized businesses, the program is individualized and tailored exactly to you and your team. And all of this keeps the startup completely independent of your internal resources and structures.

The Corporate Startup Accelerator is based on our experience of supporting over 200 corporate startups for more than 15 years. We have worked with both large corporations and small-to-medium-sized companies from various industries.

The Program at a Glance

Scaler8 ICON

Get started with the entry model incubate

Give your most creative minds the opportunity to turn their ideas into reality and drive success for your corporation. In just the first three months, we will accelerate together through the following activities:

A two-day Kick-off bootcamp

Personal networking and exchange among all corporate startup teams in the program, expert input to teach the methodological basics and foster the right mindset, and the creation of a clear roadmap for the upcoming months.

 

Hands on Coaching on site

Two days per week of on-site learning at your company offices from experienced startup coaches with a hands-on mentality, individually tailored to your team.

“This new program creates an end-to-end offering the entire journey of a corporate startup. Most importantly, there is no longer a need for a separate incubation program to validate new potential business models in a short period of time – the team will benefit greatly from the cross-country exchange. ”
