Review on SpinLab - The HHL Accelerator by Douglas Cachazo
SpinLab The HHL Accelerator: Young accelerator company with good results
As I have reviewed above, there are and have emerged a good number of accelerator companies, something that I see very positive, each with very similar objectives, but with different ways of operating.
For me this is a good approach to what a good accelerator incubator company should be, founded in Germany but with a global character,
The Germans are characterized by their order, planning and excellence, you can notice that as soon as you enter the SpinLab website, good design and the most relevant information flows before your eyes, easy to navigate, light code but the main thing well complete information, from the web you can apply if you properly fill out the forms they provide you, not everyone applies, it is difficult but not impossible, you must meet a series of requirements and if you apply the project will be in Germany, that is why they provide you free of charge 6. 6,000 euros for relocation expenses, then you can receive other financial support that could reach a total of 15,000 euros non-refundable, ie this aid is free.
Among the most relevant features of its accelerator program I could summarize in broad strokes: Totally free initial support, more than 25 macro companies as corporate partners including the giants Dell and Porsche, the leading European venture capital companies available to invest. Free office space during the 6-month program.
Preference of ventures to apply is directed to areas such as energy, health, technologies and that apply to the already known concept of smart cities.
Generally the ventures must be a little advanced, generally they do not accept ideas or pre-seed but they must be very cool to be able to apply.
Something important that I should not fail to mention is that the language to operate is English, also German. But you must be fluent if not fluent at least acceptable is English.
Applying is difficult, but as I always say if someone applies and there are several of you, one of those could be you!
