Acceleration Program

Start-up
Acceleration

We can help you scale your vision into a thriving business, whether you are an aspiring founder or an early stage entrepreneur.
While other accelerators have chosen to “scale” and take on an increasing number of companies or cities, we have remained true to our original mission: find awesome companies led by founders we enjoy working with and spend two intense months with them.
Throughout the program, we work on everything from determining product market fit to defining a target market and obtaining the company’s first validation. Additionally, we assist companies in preparing for fundraising and, of course, investor meetings.

What do startups get out of the program?

Creating a business is a solitary and challenging pursuit. Collaboration with others who are experiencing similar difficulties makes a significant difference. Founders who have completed our programs tell us how valuable the Kadahive community is.
During the program, we work on everything from finding product market fit, defining a target market to getting first validation for the company. We are also instrumental in helping companies prepare for fundraising and of course for investor meetings.
