Oxigênio Aceleradora ended the selection process, started in April this year, with the announcement of the seven companies that will participate in the 2nd Acceleration Cycle. In all, 1,300 companies were registered to participate in the program.
“The first acceleration cycle brought great results for Porto Seguro, generating more than 20 projects in progress with the five selected startups”, says Italo Flammia, director of Oxigênio Aceleradora, “for this reason we believe in the potential of Oxigênio and our partners to continue this project and bring more and more integrated solutions to the market ”.
During the first three months of acceleration, entrepreneurs will have mentoring, lectures and workshops comprising various specialties with Porto Seguro executives and renowned professionals in the market. After this period, startups will complete the acceleration process at the headquarters of the Plug and Play Tech Center, an accelerator located in Silicon Valley in the United States.
In the second phase, the company chose to accelerate seven startups - two more than in the previous cycle. The novelty is that the Atendente Virtual and BemCombinado companies are led by Porto Seguro employees, who will have investment and support from Oxigênio to move forward with the development of their businesses. "We are extremely happy to see that people inside the company are daring and innovating, mainly because we have the chance to help them realize their own entrepreneurial dream," says Flammia.
