The challenge

Founders pursuing international accelerators needed a clear business narrative, credible fundraising plans, and a stronger understanding of what programmes expected. The challenge was to translate ambition into a coherent application and a well-prepared investor pitch.

2080’s approach

2080 designed the independent YC Express readiness programme around startup selection, office hours, US-market masterclasses, and a mini demo day. Individual feedback connected business-model development with investor storytelling, pitch materials, and application preparation.

Provided individualized application feedback.
Refined business models and investor narratives.
Prepared decks, video introductions, and interview responses.
