Our services
Product Development
With years of experience in the startup tech industry we know what a good products needs. Always at the edge of the market we know the latest trends, where things are heading and how you should outline the product so that it stays important for the upcoming challenges.
Project Management
It is well known that the idea is 1% while the execution often decides which projects are successful. We've done plenty software projects, know how organize them and get stuff done on time. We gladly take on a comissary Technical Lead Position if necessary.
Backend Programming
Although we know our way around management, we love to get our hands dirty. After all we come from the software development area and like to get things done rather than talk them to death. There is no technical challange we are not willing to tackle.
User Experience
While the backed is where the actual algorithm lies, the the User Interface defines the actual product and therefor is a crucial part for many startups. A compelling UI is at least as important for the success as the magic behind it. Over the years we've developed an eye for good usability.
Consulting & Advice
Our main goal is get great stuff happening and make a dent in the universe. We are gladly helping upcoming projects and startups with consulting and advice on any of these fields. As a short-term sprint or as a long-term mentorship programm, whatever helps.
And Everything Else
We belive in the concept of bootstraping startups and lean management. To get the 80% off the ground everyone has to do everything necessary. There is no saying no, if you want to get things done. We help out how ever we can, even if that means acting as a client for you on TV.
About us
Club der Beschleuniger eG is a collective by law of passionate hands-on startup crafts people. For too long have we seen great idea fail because of bad management and business execution. We are eager to change that by contributing our years of experience to the cause.
Working for Shares
Bootstraping a startup mainly means one things: having no money to spent. That is why we've developed a payment model specially for this market: If they majority of the collective believes in the idea, we also take shares as a (part) payment for our work. A system that has prooven very successful often: with shares on success everyone is more interested and not wasting any time nor money.
The Collective Idea
Legally from the outside we are no different from a GmbH or a Limited, but internally it means every employee participates on financial success equally as well as decides which startups to support. A very crucial part especially as it requires even more will power if you work for equity.
Quality for the Win
As we give equal shares to all the employees it means everyone is chosen carefully. This model can't afford any lazy slackers, it requires everyone to get down to business and deliver. Only the best of a kind are able and willing to do that.
