We are thrilled to announce that Topo has been accepted into the Winter ‘24 batch of Y Combinator!

This news is in line with what we've been building since day one: a global company with a big ambition: to transform the B2B buying/selling experience.

We're humbled by the chance to follow in the footsteps of successful YC companies in recent years, and we'll try to follow in their footsteps. Specifically in the revenue tech industry - the ambition to help companies sell better and faster is an area where the US market has always been at the forefront.

What is Topo, Y Combinator, and what is our team planning on doing during the accelerator program in San Francisco ? Read on to find out!

More about Topo

The B2B sales process is broken: 85% of B2B buying decisions happen outside of conversations with the sales rep.

This leaves Sales teams facing:

- longer sales cycles

- lack of momentum

- increasing number of stakeholders

- and difficulty in scaling a proven sales process.

Having a background in B2B sales, we experienced these problems first-hand. Without finding a tool that could solve these problems, we decided to build one.

Topo is a Buyer Engagement Platform that allows sales reps to keep all interaction in a single space, facilitating collaboration, increasing engagement, and creating sales motions at scale.

We provides a feature-rich platform, including a Digital Sales Room for engaging buyers, self-service sales cycle improvement, workflow automations to maintain a high rythm, detailed analytics & deal scoring for opportunity prioritization, and seamless integrations with CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot, ensuring real-time updates and content enrichment from various tools.

Just two quarters after implementing Topo, our customers shortened their sales cycles by 30%!

More about Y Combinator

Y Combinator is an American technology startup accelerator based in San Francisco. Every year, it selects a few hundred of the most promising startups out of tens of thousands of applicants. YC alumni include well-known companies such as Dropbox, Airbnb, Stripe, CoinBase, and DoorDash, and many more that have become household names today.

Come January, the Topo team will join the other startups accepted into the Winter ‘24 batch in California for a three month accelerator program. While in San Francisco, our team will remain focused on 4 priorities :

Leverage YC’s Expertise on Product and GTM Strategies

Y Combinator brings a wealth of expertise, mentorship, and resources to the table, creating an environment conducive to rapid growth and success. Startups admitted into Y Combinator's programs benefit from access to seasoned entrepreneurs, industry experts, and a vast network of investors. Leveraging this expertise, we at Topo will fine-tune our product development, ensuring it aligns with market needs and stands out from the competition.

Y Combinator's accelerator programs are designed to provide startups with the tools and guidance needed to accelerate their go-to-market strategy. Through intensive mentoring, our team will gain insights into market trends, customer acquisition strategies, and effective scaling techniques. The network effect within Y Combinator's ecosystem opens doors to valuable partnerships and collaborations, enabling us to fast-track our market entry.  By actively engaging with Y Combinator's expertise, Topo can navigate challenges more effectively, iterate on our product offerings, and position ourselves for sustainable growth in our respective markets.

Grow our Market Presence in the United States

As we embark on expanding our footprint in the US market, partnering with Y Combinator offers a strategic pathway to accelerated growth and market penetration. Y Combinator's mentorship program will provide invaluable guidance and support tailored to navigate the intricacies of the US market landscape. This will help us at Topo navigate regulatory requirements, understand market nuances, and tailor our approach to resonate with American businesses.

Leveraging Y Combinator's vast network of investors and advisors, Topo will gain unparalleled exposure, fostering relationships that can lead to strategic partnerships and collaborations pivotal for expansion.

Participating in Y Combinator's accelerator program also offers us a platform to showcase our innovative buyer engagement software to a diverse audience at Demo Day. This exposure not only raises awareness but also positions Topo.io prominently within the competitive US market.

Network with Others in the YC Community

Y Combinator's presence in the middle of San Francisco’s prominent tech ecosystem presents an invaluable opportunity for Topo.io to foster meaningful connections with others in the industry. By becoming a part of Y Combinator's network, Topo.io gains access to a diverse and influential community of tech professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Through curated networking events, mentorship sessions, and collaborative environments, Y Combinator provides Topo.io with the platform to engage with like-minded individuals, share insights, and build relationships that extend beyond the duration of the program. These connections not only facilitate knowledge exchange but also open doors to potential partnerships, collaborations, and opportunities that can significantly enhance Topo.io's visibility and impact.

Build Memories with our Founding Team

Topo’s acceptance into Y Combinator not only represents a pivotal step in our business journey but also serves as an exceptional team-building experience, which is why we have decided that the entire team will be heading to San Francisco in the beginning of the year to benefit! Being part of Y Combinator's accelerator program fosters a sense of unity and shared purpose among our team members. The immersive nature of the experience encourages collaboration, idea exchange, and collective problem-solving, creating an environment where everyone's strengths and expertise contribute to the overall success of Topo.

Engaging with mentors, industry experts, and fellow startups within the Y Combinator ecosystem cultivates a culture of continuous learning and adaptability within our team, aligning us with the dynamic and innovative spirit of the tech industry. This shared experience not only enhances our professional growth but also strengthens the bonds among team members, positioning us to overcome challenges and achieve collective success as we navigate the exciting journey ahead with Y Combinator and beyond!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
