MediaTech Hub Potsdam kicks off the next round

The application phase for the first cohort of the MTH Accelerator 2026 has begun!

Our Bootstrap Seedstrap Programme is aimed at teams that want to scale leanly while retaining control. This unique programme in Germany is designed for early-stage startups that combine bootstrapping, seedstrapping or revenue generation with strategic financing. Startups scale organically with customers, partners and their own capital.

The Investment Readiness Programme is for startups preparing specifically for their angel, pre-seed or seed round. Through tailored coaching, tools and direct access to investors, they build the foundation for successful fundraising and growth.

Both programmes are equity-free and combine personalised coaching with our strong network of experts and investors.
