We invite to acceleration program software startups at the MVP or ready product stage.
The acceleration program is individualized for each startup - we plan the optimal combination of group bootcamps
and workshops, individual mentoring sessions, and 1-1 meetings with investors.
The program consists of two phases:
-
First phase (4 weeks): group bootcamps and individual mentoring sessions for product validation, product-market-fit, and building a sales and go-to-market strategy.
-
Second phase (8-10 weeks): individual mentoring sessions, 1-1 meetings with founders and investors, group Q&A sessions. Pitching, unit economics, financial model, fundraising strategy, pitching and pitchdeck, Demo Day for investors.
Startups can get to the second phase only based on the results of the YEP expert board's evaluation after after completing the first phase.
The terms of participation are discussed individually with each startup during the interview. The call for applications is open until March 30.

Founders who chose YEP
We are a team of developers who dream of changing the way we build software using artificial intelligence.
In 2024, we launched Metatable and saw that the market really needed our idea. We grew rapidly, attracted 3000 beta users, and achieved our first successes.
We are grateful to YEP for the knowledge, support, and networking that helped us take this step forward!
