The Silicon Valley Accelerator project, which supports Czech startups in the United States, has partnered with entrepreneur Ivana Tykač. The project will now focus on AI (artificial intelligence) and the support of female founders in startups. The news was announced today in a press release by Unicorn Attacks, the company behind the Silicon Valley Accelerator. America’s Silicon Valley is a global hub of technological innovation.

“Partnering with Ivana Tykač brings fresh momentum to our accelerator. She is a female entrepreneur herself, and her experience in technology investment along with her strong motivation to support diversity brings our participants new perspectives and potential,” said Unicorn Attacks co-founder Martin Medek.

One of the key topics of the Silicon Valley Accelerator is currently the use of AI in technology startups. “If there’s anywhere in the world that is ahead in artificial intelligence right now, it’s San Francisco. For Czech startups, exposure to this environment is crucial for their growth and global ambitions,” Medek added.

Another topic is the support of women in the technology business, which Unicorn Attacks says was one of the reasons for Ivana Tykač’s involvement in the project. “In a world where female founders of tech startups in Europe still make up less than 15 percent, we are providing targeted support through our female founders initiative,” said Tykač.

The program participants include startups Leeaf, Amicara, Divorcio, Questia, Webout, Aditbe, and Eterny. They have already completed a program in Prague focused on refining product strategies, business models, and investor pitches. The next phase will take place in San Francisco and will include meetings with experts and investors as well as workshops on expanding into the U.S. market.
