We have evaluated more than 400 startups in our selection process and accelerated 72 of them. The 5 accelerated classes trained almost 150 entrepreneurs, who spent months working side by side with the team and took their new experience and learning to their business ventures. Many of these companies have achieved excellent results, with cases of successful product launches in specific industries, internationalization, attracting investments and growth.
