Investment thesis
StartupYard runs a remote, three-month accelerator program aimed at early-stage deep-tech founders in Central and Eastern Europe. It focuses on startups in fields such as AI, cybersecurity, and IoT that have at least a working prototype and a transactional business model, excluding eCommerce and advertising-based models. The program combines hands-on mentorship from veteran tech founders, personalized workshops, and access to an extensive investor network to help startups go to market and raise capital. Highly selective, it accepts under 3% of applicants and is privately funded by Credo Ventures, Rockaway Capital Partners, and business angels.
