Overview
Birdhouse is an accelerator based in Ghent focused specifically on the scale-up phase, the often-overlooked transition between validated startup and mature growth company. The program supports founders and their teams with structured guidance on operations, team building, commercial expansion, and fundraising.
Its Ghent location places it inside the dense B2B SaaS ecosystem anchored by Wintercircus, where many of its target companies already operate or are well-networked. Birdhouse complements earlier-stage programs like imec.istart and Start it @KBC by serving the next phase of the company lifecycle.
