We're looking for innovations in:
Direct access to industry leaders
Work side by side with partners like K+S, KWS and DLG. Not in a workshop. In real pilot projects that validate your solution in the market.
150+ investors in your corner
From seed to Series A – our investor network is active, engaged, and specifically focused on AgTech and Bioeconomy. RootCamp alumni have raised millions after the program.
No equity. No fees. No catch.
You keep 100% of your startup. We invest in you because we believe in your solution – not because we want a share of it.
Financial support included.
We provide grant and funding support so you can focus on what matters: building your solution. No distractions.
Proven Track Record
Top Rankings in Germany and Europe. By the Financial Times and Statista, World Global Startup Award, Startup Ecosystem Star Award by OECD and European Commission.
We have significantly expanded our network with exciting realities and are already working on the realization of three new projects with companies and startups in the RootCamp ecosystem.
We have learned how to professionalize our structures and have, for example, hired more employees for the back office. The weekly coaching sessions are extremely helpful. This way, we can start the next growth step in a few weeks. The exceptional practical experience of the RootCamp team has also given us a lot of food for thought for the next to-do's.
The RootCamp team gives us positive energy and welcomes every single question that we have. Its accelerator program is tailor-made and gives us the boost to overcome the challenges we face and the support we need to scale up.

Our application process is divided into the steps below. These steps are consequent, meaning that you need to succeed in step 1 to move to steps 2 and 3. You will get detailed information from our team. The overall process from steps 1 to 3 can take from 1 to 1.5 months.
1. Online application: F6S application (Answer questions + upload your latest pitch deck) - check the deadline above!
2. Video call: We want to speak with you to clarify any open questions, and we always invite experts from our corporate partners to join. This is also your chance to ask questions.
3. Final pitch to the jury: We invite up to 12 startups to pitch to a jury of our corporate partners. This session is generally virtual and after the pitch the startups joining the program are announced. You will receive more instructions from RootCamp’s team if you are a later-stage startup applying for the Implementation Program.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is valid for both the 3-month Acceleration Program for early-stage startups as well as for the Implementation Program for later-stage startups.
