Acceleration program
We partner with Moscow State University Business Incubator to provide our startups with full access to the best-in-class acceleration program. Over the course of two months all companies have a unique opportunity to participate in customer development and product development programs. The program was created on the basis of the best practices of YC and Stanford in cooperation with industry leaders and tailored to specific need of early stage companies.
The program is followed by a one-month business track focused on strategy, marketing, intellectual property and capital fundraising preparing entrepreneurs to dig in the world of business and get funding from external investors.
The final milestone of the acceleration program is Demo Day where startups present their products to tech community pitching to more than 50 Russian and international early-stage investors.
