Accelerator Program

Program for up to 15 startups to establish and develop their company in the German insurance industry. We aim to help startups achieve business growth and provide tools to establish strong connections with our ecosystem.

Startups in our program must be able to add value to the insurance value chain with their product/service, coming from any vertical or area, including of course, insurtech startups.

From the pre-selection to mentoring, workshops and trainings – startups will work closely with top executives as mentors, which will help founders reach their next step (i.e. IoT, eHealth, sales, claims management, telematics…)

Access to national and international business angels and investors

€3.000 over the course of the program for the ‚start‘ category startups, plus no equity taken for all participant startups.

Access to exclusive networking events, conferences, press events, and other opportunities.

Free access to our InsurLab Germany Campus in Cologne during the program based on availability.

Access to over € 40.000 worth of services and products from our members (i.e. IBM, Amazon Web Services, EY, pitch trainings, workshops, seminars)
