You come first

Unlike other incubators or accelerators, we will never ask you to sacrifice your purpose. We help ambitious entrepreneurs (like you) enter and grow in the market, while staying true to your values.

Being an impact founder isn’t easy. Everyday brings tough decisions, limited resources, and the challenge of balancing impact with profit. That’s why the right support and connections matter.

Growth Opportunities – Access to networks, expertise and capital in the impact ecosystem through our support network of over 2000 stakeholders.

Supportive Infrastructure –  An enabling coworking environment and future-oriented programmes to help you turn your ideas into impact.

Collaborative Community – Connection with purpose-driven peers in the world’s largest impact entrepreneurship community.

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.
