Start your project and apply now!
As part of the campaign, Startnext is running a contest that supports projects and startups aiming to create opportunities for refugees living in Europe. If your project is accepted as a participant (by meeting the necessary criteria) and gains more than 100 supporters during the course of the contest, you will receive €1,000 in cofunding from the #RefugeesWelcome promotion fund.

Who can apply?
The contest is open to project starters whose Startnext projects are aiming to develop sustainable ways to aid refugees (e.g. education projects, social enterprises). The project’s funding target must amount to at least €5,000, and the project starters must be based in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland.

When does it begin?
All projects must meet certain criteria to take part in the contest. You may submit your project for consideration any time between October 28, 2015 and January 20, 2015 at 23:59. The actual contest period ends on February 17, 2016. You may submit your project even if it is already in the starting or funding phase.

We are delighted that Andrea Nahles, Federal Minister for Labour and Social Affairs, is supporting our campaign as an honorary patron.

What is the crowd index?

Projekte unter dem Balken bekommen noch keine Förderung. Die Rangliste der Projekte ergibt sich aus dem Crowd-Index eines jeden Projekts.

Wie funktioniert der Crowd-Index? Mit dem Crowd-Index wird die Beteiligung der Crowd möglichst fair einbezogen. In den Crowd-Index eines jeden Projekts fließen drei Faktoren ein: Zahl der Unterstützer, der erzielten Betrag in € sowie der prozentuale Anteil dieses Betrags am Finanzierungsziel. Beispiel: Wer also 50% seiner Fundingsumme mit 200 Unterstützern erzielt, schneidet besser ab als jemand, der dafür nur 100 Unterstützer mobilisiert, auch wenn die erreichte Summe gleich ist.

What is a cofunding campaign?

Cofunding

During a cofunding campaign, selected Startnext projects are funded by directly matching each support from the crowd with more money. For example, in a ratio of 1:1, which means that the support is doubled.

What is a boost campaign?

What is a contest ?

What is an organizational profile?

Curation

Behind an organization profile is an institution or company that offers added value to curated Startnext projects. Added values include: Qualification, Outreach, Consulting or Microcredits.
