O 100 Open Startups Movement, which connects people and institutions around open innovation programs, released the list of the ten most interesting Brazilian startups for the market. They were selected based on the evaluation of large investment fund companies during the 8th Open Innovation Week, in São Paulo, which took place at the end of February. Those selected were:
1. Lean Survey (SP)
2. Beenoculus (PR)
3. Nexxto (SP)
4. Reach (SP)
5. Prosume (SC)
6. Storymax (SP)
7. Omnize (SP)
8. Dr Cuco (SC)
9. Nama (SP)
10. Virtual Care (SP)
The ten most attractive startups are part of the group of 100 startups, which had been defined in a previous stage of the movement. The list was based on the ability of each startup to connect with the 50 large companies participating in the movement – such as IBM, 3M, Johnson&Johnson, Abbott, Grupo Fleury, Algar Telecom, Natura, among others.
Basically, the startup that managed to attract more interest from the companies participating in the movement received more "points" during two pitch days, February 22nd and 23rd, which took place in the 8th edition of the Open Innovation Week, in Sao Paulo.
O Open Innovation Week brought together 50 leading companies in innovation in Brazil, more than 20 investors and the 100 most attractive and interesting open startups for investment. The networking proposal is to discuss new relationship models between large companies and startups, in addition to exchanging mentorship, investments and establishing partnerships.
“We discussed new concepts and practices on how startups can count on the support of large companies to enable their innovation and how large companies can benefit from the growing movement of startups to be more innovative”, says Bruno Rondani, investor and mentor at the 100 Open Startups Movement.
According to Rondani, open startups can connect with large companies in different ways, such as mentoring, providing resources or partnering in the development of products or services.
"There is a widespread idea that startups are always acquired by large companies, but this is just one of the ways in which these two types of institutions connect. There are many other ways. In general, large companies manage to make the existence of startups viable", it says.
O 100 Open Startups Movement received, last year, 1,569 proposals from startups to be evaluated from 175 municipalities in the country – with emphasis on the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Santa Catarina, Paraná and Rio de Janeiro.
Two of the #top10 startups -Dr Cuco and Virtual Care-, for example, are in the healthcare field, specifically focused on patient care. Health is one of the five major areas with the greatest presence of startups in the movement, alongside education, retail, industry and communication.
