What we offer

A 4-month acceleration program for startups. Within the program, you will receive:

 Training through workshops on topics such as: value proposition, finance for startups, internal processes for startups, marketing for startups, social impact, how to charm investors;

 Strategic guidance, through individual meetings every two weeks;

 Mentoring with market professionals;

 Registrations are subject to availability and will be filled in order of registration.

Evaluation criteria

We want to know if your business has a clear value proposition, if it is capable of generating revenue and if it is scalable.

Fit with our thesis

- We will assess whether the business generates positive or negative social impacts.
- Businesses with a value proposition that generates clearly negative social and environmental impacts will not be selected. For example: encouraging addictions, consumerism, job insecurity, etc.
- We will also assess the negative externalities generated by the business (e.g. pollution, waste production, deforestation, unemployment, etc.) and whether it is possible to reduce them.
- We will give priority to businesses that generate a positive social impact for their stakeholders.

Stage of the business

Our focus is on early-stage startups. We will assess whether you have a validated MVP, what stage the validation is at, whether the company is already generating revenue and/or is capable of generating revenue in the future. We will also give priority to startups that have not participated in other acceleration programs.

Team

- We are looking for diverse teams with complementary skills.
- The values of the founders must be aligned with our thesis. We are looking for socially and environmentally responsible entrepreneurs who are ethical in all their actions, from conception to management, and who are willing to reduce the negative externalities generated by their businesses.
- We encourage applications from startups whose founders declare themselves to be part of minority groups (women, black people, LGBTQIA+ and other minority groups).
