REVIEWS
In 2024, we launched Metatable and saw that our idea was truly needed in the market. We grew rapidly, attracted 3,000 beta users, and achieved our first successes. Thank you, YEP, for the knowledge, support, and network that helped us take this step forward!
Yaroslav Dzyoma
CEO & co-founder, Metatable.ai
We came to YEP with a raw product, without a clear understanding of its positioning and without any idea about the world of startups. We are convinced that without the contacts, knowledge, and feedback we received at YEP, our path would have been longer and more difficult.
Oleh Frolov
Co-founder & CEO, if.team
We are engineers and aviators, and we came to YEP with zero business experience. Meetings with mentors, including Andrii Zaikin, gave us this knowledge. We believe that we quickly gained momentum in 2021 precisely because we attended our first Zoom session with YEP in March!

REVIEWS
We are a team of developers who dream of changing the approach to software development with the help of AI.
In 2024, we launched Metatable and saw that our idea was truly needed in the market. We grew rapidly, attracted 3,000 beta users, and achieved our first successes.
Thank you, YEP, for the knowledge, support, and network that helped us take this step forward!
YAROSLAV DZYOMA
CEO & Co-founder, Metatable.ai
It is beneficial to receive honest, constructive feedback and view processes from a different perspective. YEP mentors shared valuable insights into marketing, sales, and no-code development.
During the program, we ranked fourth on ProductHunt, launched successful targeted advertising, and improved our landing page.
In addition, we obtained frameworks for custdev and developed a financial model.

In March 2023, we came to the first call with YEP with a raw product, without a clear understanding of its positioning and, most importantly, without any idea about the world of startups, grants, and venture investments.
We are convinced that without the contacts, knowledge, and feedback we received in the acceleration program, our path would have been much longer and more difficult.

YEP, you guys are awesome! Thank you to the team and all the participants.
I don't know how we survived it, but I know for sure that it was the craziest, most intense, and coolest challenge ever. I will miss everyone, except for the deadlines :)
See you on the pages of Forbes!
