Who we work with

Two sides of one table.

We bring capital and founders into the same room, then make the introductions that move things forward.

Capital

Family offices & investors

Sharper deal flow. Cleaner governance. A seat at a small table, not another newsletter.

Founders

Fintech, cybersecurity & defence tech teams

Ready for market. We open the doors that matter: corporates, primes, and the people who actually write the cheque.

Where we scout

Three core markets. One network.

We find the teams before they are obvious, and before they reach the room everyone else is sitting in.

IL
Israel
DE
Germany
FI
Finland

And other markets, case by case. Fintech, cybersecurity and defence tech, sourced where the engineering is.

How we work

Judgement, not theatre.

Four ways we sit alongside the people we work with. Each one is a decision someone has to get right.

For investors

Founder team diagnostic

Read the team behind the deck before you commit. The deal you regret is rarely the one with the bad model.

For investors

Investment committee support

A second, independent voice in the room when the decision is close and the pressure is high.

For LPs

LP governance audit

Find the structural risk in the fund before it finds you. We have lived through the version where nobody checked.

For portfolios

Portfolio founder coaching

Keep your strongest founders steady through the hard parts, so good companies do not break on people problems.

The circle
A small group of people with capital and conviction, in the same room a few times a year. By introduction. Not a crowd.
The founders

Two people. One table.

We started Accelerator Frankfurt in 2016 and have spent ten years close to founders and capital. The advisory is the same table, now run for the people we know best.
