Pre-Acceleration Journey | Who’s There?

The faces and stories behind our Acceleration Program – Batch XI – are out! Now, it's time to take you behind the scenes of the Pre-Acceleration Program, which has also reached its eleventh edition.

But before we dive in, here’s a quick recap of what the Pre-Acceleration Program is all about, and how it differs from our Acceleration Program.

  • Pre-Acceleration Program:

    tailored for individuals or teams at the very beginning of their entrepreneurial journey, from a raw idea to the development of a minimum viable product. This 3-month program is delivered mostly online, with a final in-person event in Milan;

  • Acceleration Program:

    designed for teams that already have a working prototype and are ready to reach product-market fit. Open to innovators from any industry and location, this is a 4-month full-time program that requires full commitment and in-person participation at our Milan headquarters;

Now that the basics are clear, it’s time to dive into who is actually part of this exciting journey: the people and projects shaping the eleventh edition of our Pre-Acceleration Program, led by Program Manager Giulia Piras.
