YENTW Programme
The 
Startup Accelerator is an intensive programme designed to help early-stage founders go from concept to a viable product. Mentorship, workshops, pitch coaching — and a Demo Day in front of local investors.
Programme Structure
Problem discovery, customer research, market validation. Make sure you're solving a real problem for real people.
MVP development, prototype creation, user testing. Get something real in front of actual users.
Go-to-market strategy, first customers, pricing, metrics that matter. Learn to grow with intention.
Pitch preparation, investor intros, financial modelling. Culminating in Demo Day at The Pantiles.
What You Get
Matched with an experienced founder or industry expert. Weekly sessions tailored to your specific challenges.
Practical, hands-on sessions: branding, sales, product, legal, finance. Led by practitioners, not theorists.
8-12 founders per cohort. You're not doing this alone. Built-in accountability, support, and lifelong connections.
Pitch your startup to local angel investors, press, and the TW business community at The Pantiles.
Hot desk access at partner spaces throughout the programme. A place to build, meet, and focus.
Join the growing YENTW alumni community. Past founders help future founders. That's how it works.
Applications are open for the next cohort. No business plan required — just drive, a problem worth solving, and the willingness to build.
