EO Accelerator program: 2nd generation again with HHL entrepreneurs

On October 31 the 2nd generation of the EO Accelerator program started in Berlin. Goal of the exclusive high potential program is to support start-ups to gain the abilities to push their annual revenue beyond the "magic threshold" of 1,000,000 $. This is done by a series of workshops, networking with successful entrepreneurs and coaching through the experiences of other growth companies.

The EO Accelerator program, which has been offered in the US for quite some time already, was introduced to Germany from HHL-alumna Julia Derndinger (president of the German chapter of the Entrepreneurs Organization) in 2008 and is supported by Mercedes-Benz Bank. The acceptance process is highly competitive – and again several HHL alumni made it into the program: Tim Koschella and Martin Schlichte with e-lecture portal lecturio and Malte Paul with his online gaming start-up playnik.com and Sebastian Siebert with accessoire leasing firm fashionette. In the last year, HHL alumni Dirk Graber with online optician Misterspex and Christian Angele with his health portal imedo.de also had the opportunity to participate in the program.
