Акселераційна програма індивідуальна для кожного стартапу — ми плануємо оптимальну
комбінацію групових буткемпів та воркшопів, індивідуальних менторських сесій та 1-1
зустрічей з інвесторами.
Програма складається з двох фаз:
-
Перша фаза (4 тижні): групові буткемпи та індивідуальні менторські сесії для валідації продукту,
product-market-fit та побудови sales- та go-to-market стратегії.
-
Друга фаза (8-10 тижнів): індивідуальні менторські сесії, 1-1 зустрічі з фаундерами та інвесторами,
групові Q&A сесії. Трекшн, юніт економіка, фінмодель, фандрейзингова стратегія, пітчинг та пітчдек,
Демо День для інвесторів.
До другої фази стартапи можуть потрапити виключно за результатами оцінювання експертного борду YEP після
завершення першої фази.
Умови участі обговорюються індивідуально з кожним стартапом під час інтерв’ю. Набір триває до 20 жовтня.

Founders who chose YEP
We are engineers and aviators, namely from the business side, we came to YEP with zero baggage. Meetings with mentors and Andrii Zaikin gave us this knowledge. We think that in 2021 we quickly accelerated precisely because we went to the first Zoom session with YEP in March!
