UK-based business accelerator 2Y3X will be opening offices in New York City, Santa Barbara, California, Dubai and Lusaka, Zambia, according to a company press release.
Enabling "more businesses to grow at scale around the world" is the company's goal behind expanding into the U.S., United Arab Emirates and Africa, according to the release.
"Businesses that see massive growth over shorter periods tend to be acquired for higher multiples than those which don't," Felix Velarde, 2Y3X's founder and CEO, said in the release. "With our expansion into more markets and countries and having the additional geographically based team members on board with us, 2Y3X will be able to support businesses that want to grow and scale at speed across the world."
The 2Y3X program claims it will triple clients' revenue in two years' time by teaching businesses how to grow in new markets to bring in more profits, the company's website states. The program claims to be results-focused and carries a financial guarantee.
Each of the firm's growth-acceleration consultants 'is a heavyweight who has founded, led and often sold companies themselves,' the release said.
Representing 2Y3X in the Santa Barbara location is Jim Sterne, founder of the Marketing Analytics Summit and the Digital Analytics Association, lecturer at MIT, Stanford and Harvard, and author of 12 books. In New York, 2Y3X is represented by Silvia Christmann, an executive leadership coach specializing in VCs, startups, tech and private equity.
In Zambia, the program is led by Mo Lishomwa, a highly experienced digital strategist who has held leadership positions at companies including Yahoo!, BBC, adidas and Saatchi & Saatchi. In the MENA region, 2Y3X has partnered with founders of advisory firm Link Advisory, Georges Chakar and Jihad Al Houwayek, according to the release.
