Startupbootcamp is a global network of industry-focused startup accelerators. It currently has 17 accelerator programmes across 11 cities. Startupbootcamp was founded in 2010. The co-founders are Alex Farcet, Carsten Kolbeck, Patrick de Zeeuw, and Ruud Hendriks. Since launching, Startupbootcamp has accelerated 241 startups of which 71% went on to receive funding. Startupbootcamp startups received an average of €582,438 in investment.
The first programme was officially launched by Alex Farcet in Copenhagen in 2010. In 2012, Startupbootcamp expanded to Amsterdam, Berlin, Madrid and Dublin. In 2013 it added Tel Aviv in Israel and Eindhoven. In 2014 it opened an accelerator programme in London and Istanbul. In 2016 it opened an accelerator programme in Rome. It runs programmes in Amsterdam, Berlin, Istanbul, London, Barcelona, Rome , Singapore, Mumbai, and Chengdu.
Each Startupbootcamp accelerator programme selects 10 startups from more than 500 global applicants to receive mentorship from 150 entrepreneurs, investors and partners, €15,000 for living expenses, free co-working space and over €450,000 worth of partner deals. In return, Startupbootcamp takes an 6-8% equity stake.
Programmes are primarily mentorship-driven. The volunteering mentors drive the startup acceleration over three months and often for months or years afterwards. Most of the volunteering mentors drop off however, so that there is a high turnover of mentors. This gives startups direct access to an international network of relevant partners, investors and mentors in their industry. The main partners of Startupbootcamp are Amazon, Intel, Kuehne + Nagel, Vodafone, ABN Amro, Airbus, Philips, Cisco, Bosch, HERE, Mercedes-Benz, EY, MasterCard which all act as mentors and pilot customers.
