Are you ready to take your startup to the next level?
The application phase for the MediaTech Hub Accelerator’s first cohort of 2026 has officially launched! We are looking for ambitious early-stage teams keen to realise their vision with the right support.
Building a successful company is a marathon, not a sprint. That is why proper preparation and guidance are essential. You can now apply for a place in our accelerator programme. The closing date for applications is 28 February 2026.
We offer bespoke support, a robust network, and expert knowledge located at the renowned media hub in Potsdam-Babelsberg.
Choose Your Path to Success
We know that every startup operates differently. That is why we do not force you into a standard “one-size-fits-all” mould. Instead, we offer two specialised programmes. You decide which focus best suits your current strategy:
1. Bootstrap & Seedstrap Programme
Do you want to remain independent, grow organically, or focus on public funding?
- The Focus: Profitability, sustainable growth, and maintaining full control over your company.
- What to Expect: Exclusive playbooks for bootstrapping, 1:1 coaching with founders who have successfully walked this path, and access to our network for strategic partnerships.
2. Investment Readiness Programme
Is your goal the next major funding round (Angel, Pre-Seed, or Seed)?
- The Focus: Everything revolves around VC fundraising and investor relations.
- What to Expect: Intensive pitch training, fundraising playbooks, and weekly sessions with VCs and Business Angels. We make you “Investor Ready” and connect you directly with the right people.
