Accelerator
Unlock your Startup's potential! CapsuleT's Acceleration Program offers valuable guidance, training and networking that will help you grow your business and transform it into the next innovative solution the tourism industry needs.
What we offer
The Acceleration Program is the main “vehicle” of our efforts. Our actions are designed according to the needs of the startups that will join the program, as well as the need to connect and participate in all the stakeholders of the ecosystem. Our main goal is to provide a rich content that will respond to the business needs of the startups that will join the program, to offer training opportunities and tools for their business, as well as substantial, advisory guidance on how to further develop their business in the tourism market.
The duration of the Acceleration Program for each cycle will be 5 months, with the option for startups that will join the program to remain as tenants for an additional 24 months and continue to use the Accelerator facilities free of charge. In addition to workshops and mentoring sessions, the program is enriched with local events, presentation opportunities, meetups, visits to companies in the sector, and networking activities. In addition, extroverted activities, through educational and networking opportunities, participation in trade fairs and delegations abroad, are also a key element of the program, in order to connect Greek teams with the rest of the world.
The program is offered to the selected candidates free of charge and without any other financial requirement (equity or shares from their company), but with the prospect that they will in turn support our efforts, once they progress and become a successful business.
