The Validation Program is a must-have crash course on starting your business without reinventing the wheel! Validate your business idea, find your market. Test your assumptions, meet your first customers, and acquire the right skills and connections to run your company.

The accelerator strengthens your startup’s foundation and connects you to a large network, without taking equity.

The program is structured yet flexible, a perfect combination for startups looking to grow!

During the Meet your co-founder, you’ll have the opportunity to either pitch your tech startup or present yourself to potentially find a talent match. Whether you are a single founder, part of a founding team, or an entrepreneurial-minded individual, you’ll gain the tools and connections necessary to find a co-founder for your startup. For who? Everyone who wants to be a founder of a tech startup. Ready to start within 6 months. A business idea is not required. Participation is free, but registration is necessary. We will select participants based on the best potential matches and a fit with YES!Delft. At YES!Delft, we focus on startups that are driven by technological innovation, particularly in hardware and deep tech. This includes areas like robotics, medical technology, aerospace, artificial intelligence, and sustainable energy solutions. While software and platforms can qualify, they should be based on novel technology or deep technical challenges. If your idea is mainly a marketplace, agency, or standard SaaS tool without a clear technological edge, you probably don t fit.
