Tailored support for your startup
Are you still collecting ideas or looking for a workbench for your first prototype? Or are you already on the market and looking for ways to scale sustainably?
Our program stages are tailored to your startup's current stage of development and its individual challenges!
Incubator (IFI)
Accelerator (IFA)
Is your product already on the market, beyond the first test sales? Then we want to help you grow sustainably and connect you with the right people and organizations. We work intensively on your scaling in 5 fields of action and strengthen your market position.
Community program
We believe our impact founders and their startup journeys are too diverse to consider their support complete after six months. That's why our program aims to make all content available to all members again and again: mastering new challenges, refreshing knowledge or meeting the next important contact.
To become a permanent member of the Impact Factory, we offer two entry program stages that support you in different ways and with different intensity depending on your maturity: Early, from idea validation to market entry, and Scale, for everyone who is already active with their product and wants to grow.

How to join Impact Factory
Program stages
Every startup develops differently and faces its own challenges. To support as many founding teams as possible, we offer two different program stages – the Incubator for the early stage and the Accelerator for the scaling stage.
