Our Fall Incubation Program is around the corner! On Monday November 9th the kick-off of our 9-week program will take place online.

As many of us, ACE too, had to pivot their offline program to the online space back in May. Ever since, we’ve started working with our new tailor-made mentor platform MentorJam and onboarded 60+ mentors and 25+ startups to “ACE Base”. A diverse group of 13 incredible startups will get to know each other and their own teams better, during our kick-off session on Monday: a team building session facilitated by Bas Rogaar and Jurriaan Rogaar.

In this blogpost we’d like to introduce you to the startups that have been selected for the Fall edition of our bi-annual incubation program. The 21 startup founders that have been selected for the program will participate in our 9-week online program. During these 9 weeks, ACE offers intensive training, support, and access to an extensive network of mentors, entrepreneurs and business professionals.
