A Consortium of Five Startup Accelerators

CEED Tech is a consortium of five startup accelerators that are based in Central and Eastern Europe. Its members are StartupYard in Prague, Digital Factory in Budapest, The Spot in Bratislava, Startup Wise Guys in Tallinn, and Open Coffee Club Vilnius. Together, these accelerators have helped to launch 94 technology companies since 2011 and have helped these companies to raise over €5M in seed and venture capital. CEED Tech is committed to helping young companies build viable products and successfully raise capital, and its accelerators are designed to meet the specific needs of each participating team.

A Comprehensive Acceleration Process

CEED Tech’s acceleration process is broken down into four phases. The first three phases take place in-house, at the company’s accelerators, for 3 to 6 months, depending on location. Each team accepted to the accelerator will receive initial seed financing in the form of a grant in total of up to €30,000. In addition, promising companies with the highest potential business ideas, who have proved the viability and market potential of their product idea, as well as capabilities of the project team, will receive follow-up funding of €30,000 – 250,000 after the program. CEED Tech carefully designs its acceleration processes around the specific needs of its participants, while employing best practices established by larger, world-leading technology accelerators like Y-Combinator, Seedcamp, and Techstars.
