Your real odds
No acceptance rate is public, and ExciteLab explicitly targets future European unicorns, so expect real competition.
ExciteLab ranks 2nd among German accelerators within the SpinLab group and 12th among Europe's leading startup hubs in 2024. The focus on robotics, IoT, semiconductors, sensors, and quantum shrinks the applicant pool, which also raises the bar for technical credibility.
What it takes
Prepare a pitch deck or video1 to 2 weeks
Submit application via F6S1 to 2 hrs
Establish a legal entity in Saxony
Worth knowing
The €30,000 is optional and separate from the core accelerator, so you can join the program without relocating, but only startups that establish a legal entity in Saxony can access the SAB funding. Three in-program awards offer up to €6,000 in additional prize money, and a single startup is eligible to win all three.
