Since 2011, we have accelerated 51 companies. 5 have been acquired, and 19 have raised further investment.
At StartupYard, startups simultaneously refine their products, define and strengthen their value propositions, find product/market fit, start vital business partnerships, and seek further investment if needed for rapid growth.
The program culminates at our DemoDay, a magnet for influential executives, media, investors, and startup luminaries in Central Europe. DemoDay is a showcase, and an opportunity for startups to gain investment, engage with the business community, and launch to the public.
