Startup support

Through our funded support programmes, knowledge hub and events, we empower impact entrepreneurs and startups by providing them with the resources they need to succeed and grow.

We inspire impact innovation development, we enable skill-development and confidence, and we connect founders with a community of peers, mentors, investors and collaborators.

What our alumni say

Through our programmes, we’ve empowered 169 ambitious, purpose-driven entrepreneurs (and counting). They’re now part of our alumni community – here’s what a few of them had to say about our support. 

Genefer Baxter
Co-Founder and CGO at Naviri
Empower Now was the first program that truly gave me a chance. As a woman of color and foreigner in German tech, that meant a lot. The incubator gave us clarity, structure, and community, while the Demo Day opened new doors. A highlight was the impact assessment workshop, which equipped us with tools we’ll carry forward and share with our own community.
Albrecht von Schultzendorff
Founder of möhrengrün
The programme gave me two key insights: First, stay laser-focused on your own path despite distractions from third parties. Second, without paying customers, your product isn’t validated—proof of concept and adapting to market needs are essential.
Christoph Koessler
Co-Founder Scale Energy
The incubator program supported us in our early development and gave us the opportunity to better pursue the path we envisioned. Within one year of founding the company, we closed a €2 million seed round.
Mariam Guede
Founder of Black Female Business
Being part of the Impact Hub Berlin accelerator was an incredibly valuable experience for us at Black Female Business. It allowed us to connect with inspiring mentors, exchange ideas with other founders, and gain practical insights that helped us grow as a team and strengthen our vision.
