The challenge
Media and content startups lacked local expertise to build effective international go-to-market strategies.
2080’s approach
2080 selected mentors with relevant industry knowledge and supported founders through workshops, global network introductions, and regular mentoring.
- Worked on growth systems and market-expansion plans.
- Connected startups with investors and experienced entrepreneurs.
- Used weekly KPIs to focus mentoring on user acquisition.
What the programme delivered
The supplied record reports direct investment in Kooky by 2080 alongside an Uzbekistan venture partner, and a $1.5 million investment in SquadX during the programme. It also mentions a proposed $5 million fundraising discussion for Adoba; that discussion is not treated as completed funding.
How to read these results
Reported investment outcomes require closing documentation for independent verification. Fundraising discussions are excluded from completed outcomes.
