Today YEP Accelerator announced that it is opening a new office in California and launching an international track for growth-stage Ukrainian startups looking to enter the US market.
The new track is designed for Ukrainian startups that already have a live product, paying customers, and ambitions to scale in the US.
Unlike traditional accelerator programs, this program focuses on hands-on market-entry preparation rather than theory. The San Francisco residency includes a five-week immersion into the local startup ecosystem.
Founders will live and work together through a coliving and coworking setup designed to help them stay fully focused on growth, fundraising, and networking.
Participants get access to major tech events, including San Francisco Tech Week. At a final Demo Day, startups will pitch for access to up to $1.8 million in potential investment from partner venture funds, including u.ventures, ZAS Ventures, Geek Ventures, Angel One Fund, Vesna Capital, Green Flag Ventures, Network VC, Dnipro VC, and Flyer One Ventures.
