What acceleration is like?

We have four acceleration paths planned for the Kozminski Impact Booster program:

  1. Industry with Technology Recipient
  2. Investor with Investment Funds
  3. GoGlobal related to foreign expansion
  4. Developmental titled Sector-Agnostic

Each accelerator path offers support and opportunities tailored to the needs and goals of different startups, in cooperation with relevant partners such as VC funds, foreign academic institutions or industry companies. The accelerator paths are structured according to a similar, though not identical, model and include stages:

Pre-acceleration, which begins with a session of meetings to determine the needs of the startup, the resources required, the work schedule, and to establish the Individual Acceleration Plan, the acceleration budget and the scope of the grant agreement.

Acceleration, that is, the implementation of the plan, budget, and schedule including, in particular, Milestones – individually designed for each startup. Detailed rules of Acceleration are included in the Grant Agreement. At this stage, each startup will receive the support of a startup mentor, experts and advisors with practical knowledge of the fields and industries in question, and will work closely with a Business Partner, foreign or ecosystem partner. Acceleration will last for a maximum of 6 months.

Post-acceleration is the final stage of the program. It is designed to maximize the project results achieved by the startup as a result of acceleration and ensure the continuation or expansion of development activities. It is not a mandatory stage, but a recommended one that lasts a maximum of 3 months after the end of acceleration.
