Our Accelerator
In 2012, we established the first accelerator of its kind in the world, that focuses on startups in the field of education and learning. Every year, after carefully selecting from hundreds of applications, ten initiatives are chosen. During the program, our professional staff, together with key players in the world of education and hi-tech, help each company better understand its product, target audience, and how to bring the two together and reach product-market-fit.
Our global standing as a leading actor in education innovation enables us to connect every startup to our powerful network and create direct connections with parallel bodies worldwide, including investors, clients, and more.
Applications submission deadline is August 10th.

Testimonials
Chris Hogbin, NumberHive
An amazing experience with lots of learning on the journey. Many helpful and experienced people in the space inspired me in a huge way. MindCET team ran a great program and was always available! Really practical and enjoyable sessions which got us outside our comfort zone. MindCET's expertise and focused approach in the field of education have been invaluable in shaping our product and connecting us with international experts and investors in the industry. And even though the official part of the accelerator has ended, we still work closely with the team, and their support is priceless. This extends not only to our mentors but also to the fellow founders from our cohort, creating a supportive and collaborative environment.
Katrin Ann Orbeta, Mash&co
I enjoyed the community part and learned a lot from each batchmate's journey. The MindCET network gives considerable value to the program and the team was always available, and I thank them for their valuable insights. I enjoyed the week in Tel Aviv and Yerucham: the atmosphere, the 1on1s, and the plenary sessions.
Daria Vishlenkova, Educatchy
Working with the mentors was unbelievably valuable! The Israel bootcamp week was an amazing experience
Joan Paul Pozuelos Lopez, Neuromindset
The community of MindCET and dedication of the team gave us the needed support, and the connections to key players in the ecosystem through MindCET helped us a lot to connect with potential investors and collaborators
Ido Zaltzman, Ozzystory
Cohort manager was extremely professional. Conveyed the feeling she's on your team. This program refined my business strategy and aided in useful connections. MindCET team acted as if they are part of Ozzystory's team as well, helping me improve the product together.
Gabi Karasin, hiDucation
MindCET team and specifically the program manager was approachable at all times, helpful and thorough, it was great to have them on top of every need and challenge. The agenda threw me very quickly into the entrepreneurship world which I really didn't experience until then, as well as meeting other interesting and inspiring startups that share the same situation as you, it was very intense in a good way.
Tamir Nave, mAIk
I cannot express in words the amount of assistance and warm relationship. MindCET not only taught us about the world of EdTech, and provided amazing mentors and support, but invited us to super inspirable events that indeed accelerated us. The support didn't stop when the formal period ended, it still continuous, now a year later in various ways - connection to people, hosting meetings, a stage to pitch and many more... I highly recommend any EdTech startup to join MindCET!
