OUR OFFERING

WHAT MAKES US STAND OUT

We are dedicated partners in the success of our founders. Beyond expertise and resources, support and accountability, we stand by our founders every step of the journey – while they navigate the daily rollercoaster of building and scaling a startup. As a women-founded and led organization, we bring a unique perspective to fostering diverse, impact-driven entrepreneurship.

At the Avant Now Accelerator and fem track, we work with exceptional founders on growing their investment readiness and product-market-fit. Our comprehensive package includes equity-free funding, a skill-building program, mentorship, coaching, office space, and a vibrant community for peer learning and networking in the heart of Berlin.

We are not accepting applications for our accelerator programs at the moment, but there are other ways to get involved. Check out our ongoing opportunities, like the Raise Impact and Raise Female programs.
