Welcome to DayOne NEXT
DayOne NEXT is a long-term support program designed to help the most promising startups from the DayOne accelerator cohort build, scale and anchor their R&D in the Basel Area.
DayOne NEXT is designed around a simple idea: early-stage healthtech, techbio and pharma-enabling ventures need more than short-term momentum. They need time, focus, ecosystem integration and highly tailored support. We will work side-by-side with a small number of exceptional founders and actively help build the company.
Program benefits - funding, mentorship and more
Note: DayOne NEXT candidates are selected following the annual accelerator program (from the cohort group).
